History, Purpose and Mission
- In 1888 a club was formed in Tacoma for men who rode the “Big Wheel” bicycle. This club was in existence for many years.
- In l974, a group of local cycle enthusiasts formed a new bicycle club using the name of the earlier club–thus the word “Wheelmen” in our Club name.
- The word “Bicycle” was added to our name in the 1990’s to help explain the kind of club we are.
- In 2017 the club reincorporated as The Tacoma Washington Bicycle Club and became a 501C3 Organization
We are a 501C3 non-profit organization. Our purpose is
