Het Nationaal Fietsmuseum VELORAMA ..
"...is a treasure-house of information, and its collection of 250 authentic veteran cycles will delight bicycle-lovers of all ages. Countless visitors from Holland and from all over the world all agree that the bicycle is a wonderful invention - so why not take the time to find out more about its fascinating history?"
"Housed in an attractive old building on the Waalkade, Nijmegen's busy waterfront, VELORAMA first opened to the public in 1981. The museum is based on a private collection of veteran and modern bicycles and cycle accessories belonging to the founder, Mr. Gertjan Moed.
In spring 1998 extensive alterations were carried out to create more room for the collection. This includes bicycles, tricycles and quadricycles, starting with the very first "hobbyhorse" which was invented in 1817. At VELORAMA you can follow the development of the bicycle from its earliest beginnings right up to the present day, and on into the future. The story of cycle design and manufacture is brought to life before your eyes."
