Lithuania
An endearing little museum devoted to vintage bicycles and Lithuanian cycling history is spread across three floors of a grim-looking tower block in central Å iauliai. Start by testing your own pedal power on one of the interactive exhibits, before admiring 19th-century wooden bikes, Soviet designs and more contemporary models.
Between April and September, the museum offers two hours of bike rental for free with the purchase of a ticket.
