With the kind cooperation of HRH Princess Margriet, VELORAMA has purchased the Fongers bicycle used by Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands in the 1940s and 1950s. Until recently Princess Margriet also rode on this historic cycle.  
In VELORAMA you can also see a typical Dutch Second World War bicycle, hidden in the coal-shed to avoid confiscation by the Germans, as well as various army bicycles and cycling curiosities. There is a wealth of documentation which can be seen by arrangement. VELORAMA also shows how pneumatic tyres, lights, chains and gears developed over the years.
