In 2012, Norbert Diehl, from 1993 to 2005 chairman of the 1898 Gau-Algesheim cycling club, took over the management of the museum. Emil Busch from Gau-Algesheim followed him in 2016.

Very good collection of Cycles which is called as "Bike" at there. Humble and informative person is available at the Museum...

I'm excited. It is worth it .. They do a lot of work.

Small but nice. Good advice / explanations

Under the slogan grasp to grasp and grasp to grasp, the history of two-wheelers can be experienced and interestingly designed and presented in this museum.
