Fietslân | The First 100 Years

In Friesland, the bicycle is part of daily life, but that wasn't always the case. Museum Martena explores the early years: a time when the bicycle was still a new, adventurous, and sometimes downright awkward object to use.

Eight historic bicycles from collector Jellema's collection tell the story of the first hundred years. From the bumpy bone-shaker and the elegant High Wheel to the first velocipede - each example has its own place in that history.
