β β β β β A very special museum dedicated to the history of bicycles, with many old models. The top floor contains more modern models and a small repair workshop in the attic. Definitely recommended for a visit!

β β β β β This museum offers an incredible collection of bikes, Iβd say that the collection is so vast that can be overwhelming when you start looking around.
The museum offers a ground floor and 2 other floors of bicycle history, going from the early models, to three wheeled, four wheeled models, and even some powered models. The 3th or 4th floor (depending how you count) is the attic, where a workshop is located, possibly where the owner of the museum used to fix some of the bikes that are now exposed.
History and information of bikes from many different countries, like France, Italy, UK, the Netherlands can be found here. Also information of different items and elements used on bicycles like lamps and bells.
The museum also has a small cafe with a few tables, and thereβs also toilet available. Nice commodities if you want to take your time and explore.
There are a few downsides though. Staff and the ticket counter knows nothing about bikes or some particularities about the museum. I asked about the walked guide app that they offer but they where clueless, they told me βwe just take care of the ticketsβ. It seems that the owner who was not around is the only person that has any knowledge.
Second downside, information is only in Dutch and the page that they offer as a self-guided tour in English is outdated (not sure about other languages). So my advice is that you connect to the museum WiFi, start the self guided tour in Dutch and search for the right number. Then from the menu change to English, and repeat for other exhibits. That helped me out to at least get the right description for each exhibit.
Regardless, I enjoyed my visit and Iβd recommended it to anyone.
Debit was accepted. They are not affiliated with the Dutch museum card.
