International Cycling History Conference - Freehold, New Jersey, USA. at

All persons interested in the history of bicycles, and the people involved with bicycles, are cordially invited to attend. Freehold, New Jersey (USA), is the home of the Metz Bicycle Museum, and it was the home of A. A. Zimmerman, the first World Cycling Champion. Freehold, NJ, is located about 50 miles south of New York City, and this town (which is the county seat of Monmouth County) is in an area that is undergoing rapid urbanization but which is also rich in American heritage. The 20th ICHC will feature a reception in the Metz Bicycle Museum and ample time to absorb the abundance of bicycle history displayed in this museum; the conference itself will be held in a restored historic hotel; a trip to Smithville, NJ, where the Star bicycle was manufactured (optional); a banquet with a special presentation; and a bicycle ride around Manhattan (New York City) after the close of the conference (optional). Persons interested in presenting papers on any aspect of bicycle history are invited to submit an abstract of their paper to Gary Sanderson by email (garysanderson@comcast.net) by January 30, 2009, for inclusion in the program. The papers presented at this conference will be published under the title “Cycle History 20” by Van der Plas Publications so manuscripts of these papers should be sent, or handed, to Gary Sanderson no later than the time of the presentation. Information on how to register for the 2009 ICHC will be available after July 2008. In the meantime, you can contact Gary Sanderson by email (garysanderson@comcast.net), or by phone (1-973-857-3447), for general information. Freehold, NJ (USA), is about 50 miles south of New York City. The closest airport is Newark International airport in Newark, NJ. Some of this is in our preliminary announcement that I have sent to you via another email a few minutes ago, and I will be publishing more about how to get to Freehold, NJ, when we publish information about registering for this conference.
