Exhibit explores how Bend became a mountain biking haven

Outdoor activities have long been part of the fabric of Central Oregon. Now, an exhibit at the Deschutes Historical Museum charts the history of mountain biking and how it became an integral part of the region’s identity.

This month the museum unveiled its exhibit, “Klunkers and Stumpjumpers.” The name stems from two different types of mountain bikes used in the sport’s early days.
