About Silicon Valley Bikes! Festival & Bicycle Show
The Silicon Valley Bikes! Festival & Bicycle Showโs mission is to celebrate and preserve the Santa Clara Valleyโs rich bicycling history while honoring the bicycle clubs, riding groups, governmental organizations and helping organizations who are making history today. Our mission is to promote bicycling to the general public as a healthy choice, a powerfulย source for recreation and friendship, and a viable transportation option.
Silicon Valley is known as the birthplace of innovation for personal computers, the internet and networking.
Did you know that weโre also the birthplace of bicycling innovation?
Our Festival grew from History San Josรจโs Silicon Valley Bikes! Project. In 2010, Diane Solomon wrote theย โArt of the Wheelโย for Metro Silicon Valleyย ย about young bike makers Sam and Matt Rodriquez. When she learned that bicycling began in San Josรจ during the 1880โs, sheย was inspired to help History San Josรจ gather and preserve this history with the help of Terry Shaw (Shawโs Lightweight Cycles Shop, the San Josรจ Bicycle Club and the Garden City Wheelmen), Elizabeth โBessโ Hernandez-Jones (the San Josรจ Bicycle Club and the Northern California Velodrome Association) and Ken Middlebrook, History San Josรจ Collections Director.
