This museum showcases a vast collection of bicycles, tricycles, and other forms of cycles, with over 1,000 exhibits on display. The collection includes rare and historic vehicles, as well as unusual and quirky cycles, offering a fascinating insight into the development of cycling and its impact on society. Visitors can explore the evolution of cycling, from the early days of the penny-farthing to the modern high-tech machines of today. The museum also features interactive displays, workshops, and a recreation of a Victorian-era street, complete with a functioning bicycle shop and a 1940s-style cycling cafe.
What a great little place to visit if you have an hour spare. There are plenty of bikes to see from all ages of past times. It is presented very well and the staff were very nice and friendly. We parked on Middleton road car park which charges during the day, and walked across, but there could be a free car park behind the museum nearer to the lake. It is only open a few days a week so check the website, I think it is Monday, Tuesday and Saturday. There will be plenty of signs outside saying it is open. Kids are free but adults are PS6 but we felt that was a fair price.
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.
A very interesting hour. Lots to see and reasonable entrance fee. We are glad we visited. However, almost too many exhibits, particularly in the modern section. A victim of too many donations, we're guessing. The curation could be more focused on innovation and famous bikes.
What an absolute treat for anyone who has a passion for bicycles. This is such a gem of place. The staff was wonderful and had so much history and knowledge from past to present. It was a very genuine interest the staff showed us as we toured the museum. We got to talk and laugh at each other's different types of bikes and adventures. I will be coming back as the staff showed me some new bicycles that were donated recently. I'm looking forward to seeing the restoration on a few. The knowledge is something that you will not find anywhere else.
We popped in on a sunny afternoon and wasn't sure what to expect. There was bicycles galore! They knew their stuff as well. I even spotted a trophy that had been awarded to Victoria Pendleton there. A fantastic place, fully recommended
An absolute pleasure to discover this hidden gem of a museum in Llandrindod Wells. Although I'm not a cycling buff, I was completely fascinated with the exhibits. The caretaker was completely invested and full of information about the history of the bikes. My husband said it totally changed the day, from a pleasant day out to a fantastic experience. I already made plans to return with my father before even leaving the museum. Completely incredible collection.
