20th Century Cycles Museum

By Bob Rosen

Billy Joel has been playing with motorcycles even longer than he’s been playing the piano and singing for his supper. A while back he decided to share his collection of over 70 bikes with the general public.  Under the name 20th Century Cycles, Billy has put his collection on display in a jam-packed Oyster Bay, Long Island storefront. The website will give you a good idea of what’s to be seen.  But the real treat is visiting the bikes in person.  Hours vary – off-season the display is usually open only on weekends.  Best to check before making the trek.  It’s worth the trip!
