On the same subject, how about some recommendations of good bicycle collections in museums in both the US and elsewhere around the world? Any good collections of modern lightweights?

I'll begin: the bicycle section of the Deutsches Museum in Munich is pretty nice, with a lot of Draisines and penny-farthings. Not many latter-day lightweights, though.

In the past, the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia had a very good collection, but I don't know if those bikes are still on display.

And, of course, the Smithsonian...
