The exposition "Bicycle and Lithuania" opened in 2004, represents the historic development of the bicycle – from its invention till nowadays. The bicycle is introduced here not just as one of the oldest and most popular means of transport, but as the means of popular in the world bicycle sports as well.

The visitors supposedly will not start to invent the bicycle once again, but they will take with them much new and interesting from the Museum.

The exposition is aranged not just following chronology, bet also assorting exhibits concerning the themes: "The Great Millennium Peace Ride Around the World", "The Bike is Invented. Ride the Orange One", Šiauliai Bicycle and Motor Factory "Vairas", JSC "Vairas", etc. In 2010, the newest theme – "Bicycle Sports in Lithuania" - was presented.

The exposition starts from the oldest bicycles, being exposed on the 3-rd floor.

Here is presented a copy of the oldest forerunner of the bicycle – a celerifere – "a running machine", on which in 1792 Earl de Sivrac was riding in Paris by pushing against the ground with his feet. This heavy wooden machine was without a handlebar and had just an armrest. This copy of celerifere was constructed in 1977 by joiner-pattern-maker V. Stakeliūnas , who worked then in factory "Vairas".

The most unique in the exposition there is the home-made bicycle constructed in Žagarė at the end of the 19th century. All its details were forged from iron or carved of wood. The Museum obtained this bicycle (picture 1) in 2002 from a person, living in Šiauliai district.

Another valuable home-made bicycle, called „grandpa", was forged in 1914 by a skilfull Lygumai smith Kazys Šuopis (picture 2).

One of the oldest exhibits here is the child's tricycle forged of iron in 1905, with wooden saddle covered with red velvet.

Between World Wars, the most popular bicycles in Lithuania were those made in England and Germany. Here on display there is a sports bicycle "Dürkopp", produced in Germany, 1926, and donated by Julius Kasparaitis, living in Leipzig, Germany.
