Expressions of Interest were called to acquire the entire Canberra Bicycle Museum collection of bicycles. There were some good offers from a number of collectors. The remaining stock was sold off as separate items.

However, a core collection of 28 bicycles has been kept, and is in safe storage. If ever a museum or organisation  wishes to exhibit the history of the bicycle,  then we have the goods. Contact the Curator.
