The Brooklyn Velodrome Vintage Wheelmen were founded on December 7, 2001 by John T. Pergolizzi.

The BVVW group is comprised of about 25 hardcore certified freaks, who will hangout and talk bike stuff for about 2 hours, once a month. Ours is an informal gathering of all N.Y. metro area cyclists who share an interest in vintage bicycles and cycling history. As always, youse is ALL invited. We talk the old talk (1930 to 1980) of cycling, our heroes, and their bicycles.

The BVVW is a tangent of Gruppo Sportivo Pergolizzi.
