for pleasure, keeping fit or commuting,
we had a look at a bicycle museum in Japan,
it houses some 9000 plus bicycle-related
publications,
as well as bicycles themselves, rare
parts, vintage posters and magazines from around the world, established in 1981, the
Bicycle Culture Center is in Tokyo,
originally housed inside the
Science Museum, the BCC, as it’s called for short, decided to move out of their
parents house in 2013, thanks to Kato-Sumiyoshi
Architects and design fabrication firm TANK, the BCC established a beautiful home on
a quiet back street just off of busy Meguro-dori, for those who can speak
Japanese but can’t make it to the physical location, the BCC has a fairly
extensive archive, with plenty of beautiful Ukiyo-e prints, that
tells the history of bicycles in Japan,

but you do not have to go to Japan to see a bicycle museum, the National Cycle Museum is in Wales for people in the UK, and the good news is? I get a £1 off as I am an old aged pensioner!
