Exhibition "Thunder to the pedal", Vysoké Mýto Czech Republic
The director of the Regional Museum in Vysoké Mýto, Jiří Junek, has prepared for the 2022 season an exhibition about the beginnings of cycling called Thunder to the Pedal!
A very well-built exposition, interesting with eye-catching labels even for laymen. Experts, on the other hand, marveled at the number of interesting machines that were borrowed from regional depositories or private collections.

Collezione velocipedi e biciclette antiche A. & C. Azzini, Soresina, Italy 




We had the opportunity to personally walk through the entire museum accompanied by both owners in 2022. It was a huge pleasure to see not only a cross-section of the bike's development, but entire blocks dedicated to local brands. This is what a museum should look like! This is the reason why collectors from all over the world will come and discover new and unknown technical treasures here. Their museum and exhibits are fantastic. The beautiful philosophy and attitude towards collecting is convincing. Alfredo and Carlo Azzini say: “We paid great attention to the conservation and restoration carried out in our restoration center. We study every detail, every difference. During many years of passionate research, we were guided by only one consciousness: although we are now the momentary owners of these treasures, our mission is only and exclusively one idea: to preserve and protect them and finally leave them to future generations with full respect for bicycle history."

A small private museum with a complete cross-section of the development of the bicycle. Racing cycling and military bikes have their important place. Open by appointment only.
In 2022, we made an appointment, visited the place, the owner was at home, he lives directly above the exhibition, but our delay was not understood and the museum remained closed to us. They were more accommodating in a small bar nearby.

The mechanical drive of vehicles is a fascinating story provoking endless debates as to whether it is the forerunner of the bicycle, i.e. the motorcycle or the automobile.
Wheelchairs are a major advance in enabling independence for people with walking difficulties. The first self-propelled wheelchair has been attributed to John Joseph Merlin, the ‘ingenious mechanick’, in the early 19th century and his ‘gouty chair’ is exhibited at Kenwood House. Research would suggest that comparable chairs existed in France as early as 1751 and the French Revolutionary, Georges Couthon, used one to get around Paris. A later design, also attributed to Merlin, the invalid wheelchair, features large wheels with outer hoops for the occupant to grasp and this is the true ancestor of the modern wheelchair.
