Our presentations include:
-Our entire rideable museum fleet from tricycles to tandems
-History of alternative transportation, especially as it affects the environment and shapes the world around us
-Slideshows and videos that show the unique technical, environmental, and cultural roles that bicycles play in countries around the world
-Letting kids see, learn about, and actually ride a very unusual assortment of bicycles and human powered vehicles.

Our goal is 20 presentations, at around $200 each, and we would love your support. If would like to donate or volunteer, contact us at (541) 344-1197 or send us an email at cat@catoregon.org.
