Looking at a bike differently
Start with the frame, handlebars and wheels before you read a brand name. Which shapes stand out, and what questions do they raise about riding? The caption can help you connect a striking feature to its function.
Different makers
The collection lists brands such as Klein, Specialized, GT and Cannondale. Compare two bikes on one feature, for example the position of a joint or the shape of the handlebars. That way a large collection becomes manageable without having to remember a list of models.
Also a meeting place
The museum combines the collection with a trail centre and meetings between mountain bikers. A conversation can make a technical question more concrete. Check which activities are available on the day of your visit; a museum tour and an organised ride are different things.
Before you go
Individual visits are offered free of charge and without booking; separate arrangements apply for groups and activities.
