Brent Miller: Bikes At Sedgwick County Museum

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.

This evening I spotted 2 of the give-away bikes being ridden down the sidewalk. I knew they were the bikes because one was the boys and the other the girls and the girls still had streamers. Nice to know they are getting use.

Randy: Elves Wanted!

Yes assembly will be done indoors. I believe the only time spent outdoors will be loading them into trucks.

I'm sure that's fine. They'll also need help loading bikes into trucks. I had forgot to post that they are also assembling bikes on Sunday beginning at 1:00pm. I just updated the post.
