The Science museum - London, England
The Science museum in London is one of very famous museums around the world. The bicycle collection is exceptional, but 99% bicycle is in deposit. When my good friend visited this museum, he was very disappointed and he had writen on his blog http://vintagebicycle.wordpress.com/ about it. It is interesting and truthfull story.
