Velodrome BRNO 1889 - 2025
Famous and infamous cyclists have been riding here on sand, clay, asphalt and concrete since 1889, they have experienced famous seasons and times when they were not allowed here, when it was a question of who would get the velodrome, when it was demolished and built, when the world championship was held here. Today it is one of the important European velodromes, whose parameters meet the regulations of the international cycling union UCI even for the highest category C1 races. It is the oldest functional velodrome in the world.

Biciclette d'Epoca an Italian magazine focused on historic bicycles
An Italian magazine focused on historic bicycles is published under the name Biciclette d'Epoca.
We are very happy that in 2025 the magazine also covered Štěrba BIKE - the full article HERE.
LET'S TRAVEL TOGETHER ON THE ROADS OF HISTORY
"If you've made it this far, it means you love the world of vintage cycling as much as we do. Maybe you're a keen bike collector or just an ordinary enthusiast who found your grandfather's classic bike in the cellar. Maybe you want to ride an Eroica or better understand what it's all about. Maybe you want to delve deeper into the history of the champions, entrepreneurs and personalities who built the world of cycling. Whoever you are, you've come to the right place.
At Biciclette d'Epoca - a magazine published by Sprea, founded in 2013 - we are dedicated to "cycling culture" in all its forms and we try to do so consistently - as much as possible, by delving into the mists of history - but also inclusively, because anyone driven by a sincere passion for this world and a genuine desire to share their experiences and knowledge should feel represented on our pages. Biciclette d’Epoca is therefore a point of contact, a virtual place where people meet. Until recently, it was only available in print, but today it is also online and available in several languages.
We decided to publish our articles online and translate them (even if automatically) in order to reach as many enthusiasts as possible and to spread this culture as best we can. It is a kind of mission that we try to interpret as best we can thanks to the people you will find below who have helped us create each issue of Biciclette d’Epoca. On this site you can read the articles in full (except for the captions of the images), for free, a few months after they are available on newsstands. Of course, we encourage you to buy the magazine on newsstands, or better yet, subscribe to it so you don’t miss a single issue.
On my part, a huge thank you to all the souls who breathe life into the spirit of Biciclette d’Epoca and who allow us to travel back in time, returning page after page, to tread together the paths of history.”

The most interesting exhibit for us was the Michaux velocipede, which is not yet in the database of preserved specimens of specialists in these machines.
We hope that in time we will be able to find out the serial number, which is still hidden under the original paint.
