Hungarian transport Museum

[Dee-Em]

Hey guys, just got back from a jaunt in Budapest, where i stumbled upon a Transport Museum.

In the museum was a small hall dedicated to Bicycles.... I had to get some photos so i could share the love with you guys... what I didn't know was that in taking these photos I would be escorted out of the building and fined for breaking the museum rules... ah well... but i managed to get a few photos for you guys (they aren't the best because all i had was my phone)

They had bikes from the the 1880's (apparently that is when the high-wheeler was built) all through to the early 90's (with the cam-drive and arm-and-ratchet drive bikes in the photos)

Enjoy!

Well i found it entorely by accident, i was walking through the park to clear my head after too much wine and schnapps the night before and saw the guts off a paddle steamer sat next to a bench... so i went lookingat the pretty stem engine, on which was a sign which pointed to te transport museum...
so i went in and there were old cars (lke 1908 and stuff), then a few motor bikes (sorry no pictures of them though) and then i walked across the hall and found this ...
the only thing i didnt get chance to photograph was the collection of trikes they had in... there was 5 i think and 2 of them were motored .... they were lovely, but like i said i was removed from the premises, which i could've avoided if theyd told me i needed to buy a pass to take photos... but the sign was in hungarian and the curator didn't speak english so after the second sentence... he called security as i was tryin to explain that i just like bicycles
