Classic Cycle has bikes on the edge

Published 11:52 am Friday, February 12, 2016

BAINBRIDGE – Classic Cycle will present “State of the Art” — a showcase of frame and component designs that have been labeled “cutting edge” throughout history — from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20.

Check out everything ever labeled “the latest,” including bikes that have been glued, bolted and even tied together.

The program will also take a look at bicycles made out of aluminum (before anyone knew how to weld it) and bicycles flash-cast out of magnesium (a new frame in only 7 seconds).

Missteps and real advances in plastic, carbon, steel and titanium bicycle construction will be on display to highlight how technology and style have changed the bike industry over the decades.

A reception starts at 5, with the program at 5:30 p.m.

Classic Cycle is located at 740 Winslow Way East.
