I rode the GAP from Cumberland to Pittsburgh in 2019. I had a day to kill before hopping on the Amtrak to Cumberland. I rode to Bicycle Heaven and had the pleasure of meeting Craig. We chatted about a pair of old Bose speakers he had, he was playing Ric Ocasek (who had just passed a week earlier). He was very kind with his time and gave me a mini tour of the museum. Craig and his museum are awesome and I would recommend anyone (not just bike nerds) to pay a visit if you are in Pittsburgh.
Thank you, saves me the time of venturing into another blue city that has gone to seed since COVID. Calling it a museum is generous since there are multiple copies of the same thing instead of the best copy of something on display as an example. Doubly so with the lack of curation on a lot of items it comes off looking like a junk shop. Really could have used a professional touch in curation and presentation.
Interesting. I do love this place. There is a place in Ohio that calls itself the Bike Museum Of America. It was a good collection and somebody did a 54 minute video on it. BUT, no human being was ever photographed. Looking at this bike haven, such a difference. This place looks like a bike lovers fun. That place looked like a coffee and run. Haven is a bucket list item. Thanks. An excellent production. 🏆🚵🏻♀️
Amazing looking place now added to my lists of places to visit next time I make it to the US. Any irony in the fact that Craig has The Cars tracks on the museum PA?
Almost all museums buy and sell pieces to be in their museum. Doesn’t matter what kind of museum it is. A prime example is the fifth Philadelphia Museum of art. They have several pieces of art that were purchased will be on display for several years and will eventually be sold so those funds can buy different art later one. That’s literally how most museums work.
After a new fork that orange ebike you have is sweet! But this video should be titled - Worlds Worst Bikes - then just demolish the whole store. These bikes are so dreadful!
