Dear Bicycle Historians:

You are cordially invited to attend the 12th International Cycle History Conference in Italy. The Conference will be held in a very nice location, close to the famous town of Sanremo, in the Ligurian area. Different sponsors will provide financial support for conference facilities and at this time we expect that there will be no hotel and meals costs for those who present papers. Spouses of people who present papers and attendees will get a reduced hotel rate. There will be no subsidy for travel expenses.

There will be a US Dollars 150.00 fee for every attendee (including paper presenters) and US Dollars 75 for spouses. This covers one copy of the Proceedings and the cost of the mailings.
