Blimey, I'll just open my garage to visitors if that's the competition!

All in my opinion it course but 40 bikes isn’t a huge amount for a museum.

It would be good if someone in the UK did something but likely it would need several big collectors to donate bikes and it never make any money to cover its costs.

There's a very small but pretty cool vintage bike shop recreation at the Sandtoft trolleybus museum, took the kids there a couple of years back when they had an open day, and the blokes in the bike bit were very friendly. Mainly older stuff than my interest, but nice to see.

It would be better to add another section in the Coventry Transport Museum. Small single interest museums usually bite the financial dust in no time at all.
