Welcome to The Bicycle Collector's HomePage!By way of background, I'm Scott Wilke and Ihave been bicycling for over 25 years now. And that's what got this allstarted. Riding bicycles, initially for health reasons, led to touring onbicycles which led to learning how to fix bicycles which led to collecting oldbicycles. So here I am 25 years later with an extensive collection of classicAmerican bicycles which were produced during the 19 th and 20thcenturies.Initially the main focusof our collection was American-made bicycles manufactured between 1933 and thelate 1950's. This is generally recognized as the 'Balloon Tire' era in Americanbicycling history.
But over the years we have expanded the collection toinclude bicycles from the 1960's and 1970's In particular, our collection hasmany Schwinn Sting Rays and Krates from what is know as the 'Muscle' bicycleera. Recently (2012) we added a 1867 Boneshaker and a 1887 Rudge Ordinary(high-wheel) to the collection thus providing a specimen from every era ofAmerican bicycling history.Our museum is inside the same building as, located in Cudahy, Wisconsin a Southern suburb ofMilwaukee. South Shore Cyclery is a modern bicycle shop selling new andused bicycles. They also perform repairs and have bicycling accessories and partsavailable too.We share floor space in a buildingoriginally built for Woolworth's 'Five & Dime' during the mid 1920's. For thoseof you who can still remember Woolworth's, our building had the traditional red'banner' signage as well as art-deco architectural elements.Forthose of you who shopped at Woolworth's as a kid, you will no doubt have fondmemories of the many notions, toys, and pet animals that they sold.
If youwere lucky, your Mom might have bought you a meal at the famous Woolworth's lunch counter, wheresandwiches, shakes, ice cream and soda were the order of the day. OurWoolworth's did have a lunch counter, but sadly was removed long ago. SometimesI swear I can still hear the clanking of glasses and silverware, the hustle andbustle of shoppers moving up and down the aisles, the laughter of children asthey discover a new diversion or toy. Hey is that burgers with onions I smellcooking on the grill?Following the Woolworth era, this buildingbecame a Drews Variety & Craft store, which specialized in craft supplies andother novelties. Sadly, after 70 years, in 2007 the last Drews store, locatedin Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, closed its doors for good. In 1984 our building waspurchased by Jay Gordon and became the new home of Cudahy News and Hobby (now) untilApril of 2002 when we bought the building.In short, this beautiful building was alwaysa place filled with enjoyment and fun; a special place where a kid (and thosewho still think like kids) looked forward to visiting and shopping.That's what we still offer today.We are always looking for old bicycles, partsand literature, etc.
Our goal is simple. We are trying to help preserve what isleft of America's bicycling heritage. Sadly many good specimens end up in thetrash or the recycle bin. Most folks are not aware that there are a handful ofus who can still make use of those old bicycles or their parts for restoration.
