Imagine the surprise of finding a one-room museum full of historical bicycles in the gingerbread village that is Cumberland Gap. It's a great collection, including 1930s-1970s Schwinn models and special tribute editions like a 1949 Hopalong Cassidy bicycle. The 1934 Quadrocycle from Chicago is an excellent example of the quality of the display; it is one of only five produced and became a pacer vehicle for six-day bicycle races. Only two still exist today; the other one is in Disney World and is occasionally ridden through the park by a barbershop quartet.
