pedestrian cyclistOh. Wow. So they put Grant Petersen's personal bicycle in the museum.
I guess he has still enough other bicycles to get around.
Marin Museum of Bicycling on Instagram: "We are thrilled to share that the Marin Museum of Bicycling has received an incredible new donation: Grant Petersen’s personal bicycle—a custom Rivendell Clem Smith Jr. that represents decades of thoughtful design and industry influence. Grant’s impact on cycling is profound. As the U.S. marketing director at Bridgestone in the 1980s and early ’90s, he championed practical, elegant bikes that stood apart from the racing-dominated scene. After Bridgestone exited the U.S. market, Grant founded Rivendell Bicycle Works, continuing his mission to design bikes for real riders—prioritizing comfort, timeless aesthetics, and an anti-hype ethos that’s earned him a cult following around the world. This donation isn’t just a bike—it’s a design philosophy on two wheels. We’re honored to preserve and share Grant’s story with our community. Huge thanks to Grant, the @rivbike team, and everyone who helped bring this special piece into the museum. We can't wait to see it inspire the next generation of cyclists and tinkerers. #marinmuseumofbicycling #mountainbikehalloffame #vintagemtb #theartofthemountainbike #mountainbike #mtbhistory #bicycles #GrantPetersen #Rivendell #cyclinghistory #BridgestoneBicycles #designwithpurpose"
