Cycling Museum of Šiauliai

This museum is a branch of the Aušra Museum and serves as Lithuania's only dedicated institution for cycling history. It displays a chronological collection of bicycles, starting with early models constructed from wood and iron and progressing through various mechanical evolutions to modern designs. Visitors go here to see the technical development of the bicycle and the evolution of its frame and components over time.

Getting There

The museum is located within the city of Šiauliai. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a local bus trip, typically taking about 5 to 10 minutes depending on the exact starting point and traffic conditions.

Visit Duration

Most visitors spend between 1 and 2 hours exploring the exhibits. This allows enough time to view the different eras of bicycle design without rushing through the collection.
