Friday, February 3. 2012Bikes At Sedgwick County Museum
Bicycles on display at the Sedgwick County Museum.
  The ladies bicycle, an 1894 Overman Wheel Company Victoria, was donated by Emmett Carpenter, of Hamilton's Bicycles, in 1979. According to Mr. Carpenter, this was the first ladies' bicycle sold in Wichita.  The Burt Bicycle was donated by Shirlene Jackson in 1985. Burt Bicycle Company was in Wichita. The 1894 Wichita City Directory lists Burt & Stage Bicycles at 152 N. Market; 1896 Burt Cycle Company at 106 S. Lawrence; 1898 Burt Bicycle Manufacturing Company, 239 N. Main. It was not listed after 1900. Thanks to Ed Antrim for the photos and Jami Frazier Tracy, Curator of Collections at the museum for the information. Trackbacks

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any photos from before the turn of the century of any Wichita bicycle clubs and in particular of any bicycle repair shops. Our house (which is now the Delano Bed and Breakfast) was built by Morris Schollenberger who was one of three brothers who owned the Schollenberger & Co. bicycle repair shop located at 230 N Main in Wichita. The brothers closed their bicycle repair shop in 1900 to start the Wichita Automobile Company. They were the first (gasoline powered) car dealership in Wichita. Just curious if there are any photos out there floating around that I might be able to access on line or in the library, historical society etc. to complete our history research of the Schollenbergers. Thanks in advance for any help. Brent Miller delanobandb@gmail.com
