I will be in coventry in a while on one of my perverse cycling trips. My attention was caught by the transport museum. Feedback? Worth seeing?

It's very good indeed. One of the best.

They did have a Thrust SSC simulator, which is good fun.

Thanks for the uber fast feedback folk.
It did sound interesting and you have very quickly convinced me.
Will give them a call to check out their willingness to accommodate my motley collection of panniers and drybags while i mooch around.

They should have no problem doing that, unfortunately they don't accept kids. I did try.

They wouldn't let them in the museum or let you check them into left luggage/the cloakroom?
Oh they were more than welcome in the museum. There is quite a bit for kids to do. I wanted to leave them somewhere so I could enjoy it at my own pace.

Funnily enough, I was there yesterday. It really is an excellent day out. There is a large display of bikes through the ages and a large part of course centres on Coventry's contribution to the motor industry.
Don't forget to make a detour to the bombed cathedral.

Despite having lived in Coventry for 21 years, I have never been to the museum. I am visiting my family soon and we are going to spend an afternoon there.

Semi-related, has anyone ever cycled around the ring road? I drove it but didn't have my bike there. It struck me as either really fun for lap training or really terrifying on a bike, I couldn't decide which.

Not me and loaded up as I will be I think I'll be avoiding that.
On the museum, it did look interesting from my initial research and great that it's free, as all public museums should be.
Why isn't it better known?
