## Record summary

Kyle and Greg Mathias meet in person at the National BMX Hall of Fame and examine Harry Leary-related bicycles and display objects. Greg recounts his friendship with Harry, the provenance of a 24-inch Daylight bicycle, the damaged and replacement 20-inch Daylight bicycles, Harry’s final days, the theft and recovery of a loaner bicycle, and the preservation of Harry-related materials.

## Why this recording matters

Links first-person testimony directly to museum objects and preserves both object provenance and the emotional history surrounding Harry Leary.
