The Danmarks Cykelmuseum, located in Aalestrup, is a unique institution dedicated to the technical evolution of bicycles. It provides an in-depth look into the history and progression of bicycle technology, making it an interesting destination for those interested in the history of transportation or cycling enthusiasts.

Historic Building with Industrial Roots

The Danmarks Cykelmuseum is housed in a historic building that was originally built in 1921 as a residence for the director of the Jyden bicycle factory. The factory closed in 1962, and the museum was established in 1974. This adds a layer of historical significance to the museum, as it is a testament to the city's industrial past.

A Broad Collection of Bicycles

The museum's collection boasts around 150 bicycles, ranging from wooden bikes to modern models. The oldest bicycle in the collection is a velocipede, built in France in 1865, which participated in France's first bike race from Rouen to Paris in 1869. The newest bicycle was made in India in 2002. This wide range of bicycles provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of bicycle technology.
