The California Bicycling Museum, in which UC Davis is a partner with the city of Davis, is presenting an exhibition to coincide with the university's centennial celebration.

The exhibition opened recently in the basement of the Third and B Street Building in Davis. Admission is free.

David Takemoto-Weerts, UC Davis bicycle program coordinator, said museum hours are 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays and 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays, at least through November.

The display features bikes from the museum's Pierce Miller collection, dating back to the bicycle's invention in the 1820s.
