This center specializes in information on bicycles. The location offers both a library and a museum and features monthly periodicals and texts from all over the world. All materials are available for in-store viewing. Take-home literature is also provided to guests. Patrons may access the center's gallery of vintage archives, as well. Historical models, bicycle parts, and classical posters are included in the exhibition. As the center recently relocated to a contemporary, two-story space, it can now be found in the Science Museum in Kitanomaru Park.

As I was walking toward Meguro Station, a nostalgic bicycle caught my eye, so I stopped by. In a neat building labeled Bicycle Culture Center, the "Wonders of the Bicycle" exhibition was on. It seems you can usually walk right in, but that day, as it happened, there was construction work, so you couldn't enter the exhibition room without asking a staff member. So we went to the office-slash-library in the back. Even to my silly question, "So what exactly is this place?", the staff member didn't look annoyed at all and stayed with us the whole time showing us around. Apparently, it's a comprehensive bicycle building that brings together all kinds of bicycle-related organizations and associations. The bicycles in the show window were ones that were popular around 1980. My husband looked nostalgic, and even though I know nothing about bicycles, I got drawn into the staff member's stories and found it really interesting. We also tested our reflex age with a reflex-testing machine called "Quick Catch." And we looked at a variety of recent, more advanced helmets. We were also told about the importance of wearing a helmet and the dangers of bicycle accidents. It was very educational and got me thinking about bicycles. It's thanks to the staff member explaining everything in such detail, but it was a really good, very educational exhibition. Even if you're not into bicycles, you can get a peek into a little new world.
