THURSDAY, JUNE 11 AT 6 PM
Whether you are a cyclist or a pedestrian, join us at the next meeting
of the History Club at the Madison Club to hear the complex and
fascinating history behind the popularity of biking in Wisconsin.
Our guest speaker, Nick Hoffman, will trace the interesting story
of Wisconsin's first "bicycling boom," from the velocipede craze of
1869 through the "wheel fever" of the 1890s. From its start in the 19th
Century, cycling in Wisconsin has been defined by a familiar and often
impassioned debate over who should be allowed to ride, where they
could ride, and even what they could wear.
An entertaining speaker, accomplished researcher and avid cyclist, Mr.
Hoffman co-authored "Wheel Fever – How Wisconsin Became a Great
Bicycle State", a Wisconsin Historical Society Press book about the
origins of bicycling in Wisconsin and why those origins still matter. In
"Wheel Fever", which received several book awards, Mr. Hoffman and
his co-author Jesse Gant challenge the reader to imagine anew the democratic possibilities that animated
cycling's early debates.
Mr. Hoffman serves as the Curator at the History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, Wisconsin, and is
co-curator of Shifting Gears – A Cyclical History of Badger Cycling – a new and exciting exhibit currently
at the Wisconsin Historical Museum through October 2015.
This event is open to all Madison Club members and guests. Cost to attend is $45++ per person for dinner,
including a glass of wine. Please contact the Madison Club to RSVP: 608-255-4861.
