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
