What visitors say
Absolutely loved visiting when we were in the area. To see cycling and bicycles through every age was incredible. The commentary on the early years of cycling was really really insightful. Could have maybe done with a little more for later eras but that's a tiny point. This is somewhere that's a genuine labour of love

This place was amazing. A great little find for me and my partner who are keen cyclists not that you necessarily have to cycle to have a look around! So interesting. Bikes dating back to the year dot. I was surprised to see so many kinds of penny farthings as well as loads of memorabilia. Well worth the money and staff were really friendly, informative and helpful.

An absolute gem! Really enjoyed my visit here. Located on the main road with car parking nearby, the museum is staffed by helpful volunteers so be sure to check opening times if you're making a special trip here. So many bikes to see across a wide range of eras including specific information about selected cyclists. It's easy to be absorbed by the engineering and design of these models so if your interest is bikes make sure to give yourself enough time in the exhibition. Located on the ground floor with wide entry doors, the route within the museum is flat and accessible, although may be a little tight if you use a wide mobility aid due to the volume of bikes within the exhibition space. There are clean toilets on the ground floor within the building. There is a small entry fee which is well worth the experience.

What a great museum for the cycling enthusiast. A very detailed history of the bicycle with some great examples. Loved picking our favourites, the Dursley was awesome with the sprung seat set up. Nice tribute to Eileen Sheridan too. Would recommend👍
