RAD! Cycles will showcase rare cycles from the golden age of BMX racing, as well as jerseys, archival photos, posters, and vintage BMX ephemera in an exclusive pop-up exhibit. “Minnesota’s BMX roots go deep and we’re excited to share and celebrate that history with the community,” says CMM Board member Laura Moran, “The exhibit will speak to nostalgic hearts and adrenaline junkies alike. Every trophy, photo, and piece of gear has a story to tell." Come marvel at the history and journey of BMX racing with us!
