Minnesota bike museum is looking for a new home
MINNEAPOLIS — A unique piece of history is at risk of being locked away in storage.
Hundreds of bicycles from as far back as the 1800’s need a new home.
Juston Anderson, the co-founder of the Minnesota Cycling Museum, has a special gift for sharing the history of each bike off the top of his head.
“Once you tell the story of the bike, you just become kind of fascinated,” said Anderson.
The museum is in need of a new space, as it could be asked to leave any day now from its temporary home at the Bloomington offices of bicycle distributor, QBP.
“Our alternative is we’re just going to be going into cold storage,” Anderson said. “That’s what I mean that there’s all kinds of pressure. To put all these into cold storage just kind of defeats the purpose of our museum.”
Like any good museum, there’s variety.
Anderson has decades-old photos, medals and trinkets in addition to the bicycles.
The museum has a mountain bike exhibit at the Trailhead in Minneapolis’s Theo Wirth Park.
Anderson says if they do find a new home, his collection is about 1,000 bikes strong, so he’ll never have to worry about filling the space.
“We’re just so thankful that we’ve got so many people that believe in us and see our vision and the potential of what this museum is going to be,” he said. “We’ve got all these great cycles, and we want to get them out in the public’s eye.”
Anderson says one of the challenges for the museum is that it’s a non-profit on a tight budget.
He says they’re looking for donations or grants to help them relocate somewhere with more exhibit and storage space.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Steven Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Nashville Predators to a 2-1 victory over Minnesota on Saturday, locking the Wild into the third seed in the Western Conference for the playoffs.
Matthew Wood also scored and Justus Annunen made 21 saves for the Predators, 4-1-1 in their last six.
Minnesota will face the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs.
Michael McCarron scored and Jesper Wallstedt made 20 saves for the Wild, losers of two straight.
The Predators are now three points behind the Los Angeles Kings for the Western Conference’s second wild card. The Kings defeated the Edmonton Oilers earlier Saturday. Nashville has two games remaining and the Kings three.
Stamkos scored the game’s first goal with 4:59 remaining in the opening period on a wraparound tucked just inside the left post.
The goal was the 40th of the season for Stamkos, the eighth time in his career that he’s scored 40 or more.

Wood made it 2-0 at 6:34 of the second after Stamkos corralled the rebound of Nick Perbix’s shot and found Wood in the slot, where he beat Wallstedt with a wrist shot.
McCarron, traded by Nashville to Minnesota prior to this season’s trade deadline, scored at 6:54 of the third to avoid the Wild’s first shutout of the season. It was his second post-trade goal.
The Wild did not dress forwards Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello or defenseman Jared Spurgeon for the game.
Nashville captain Roman Josi returned to the lineup after missing Thursday night’s game against the Utah Mammoth with an upper-body injury.
