Rijwielmuseum Winterswijk: bicycles and their small parts

The Rijwielmuseum in Winterswijk is a private collection of antique bicycles and accessories. The owner receives visitors only by appointment, alongside other work and free time.

Plan your visit ↗

Learning to look at a bicycle

Various bicycle brands are represented in the collection. Look at the shape of the frame, the handlebars and the riding position. By comparing the same parts across several bicycles, the visit gains more direction than just a series of brand names.

Bells, lamps and saddles

The accessories deserve a moment of their own. A lamp or bell seems like a small part, but has a clear use and its own design. Workbenches are also part of the collection; ask how maintenance and repair are explained alongside them.

Arranging things with the owner

There is no fixed weekly schedule, and availability depends on the owner. Contact them by email and wait for confirmation before you travel to the Ravenhorsterweg. Also discuss the size of your group.

Before you go

Visit only after a confirmed appointment; there is no free daily walk-in.
