Cycling Museum Roeselare
The Cycling Museum in Roeselare, now known as KOERS, is the national museum of Belgian cycling culture. The collection covers more than a century of cycling history, with particular attention to the great champions such as Eddy Merckx, Rik Van Looy, Freddy Maertens and Johan Museeuw. The museum combines classic collection pieces such as historic bicycles, jerseys and trophies with modern interactive installations, including virtual race simulators and an adapted course for educational workshops.
Accessibility — an honest overview. The official KOERS website (koersmuseum.be) does not list concrete accessibility details for wheelchair users (step-free access, lift, adapted toilets, café). KOERS is a relatively recent museum and it is plausible that the basic infrastructure is accessible, but before visiting you are advised to contact the museum to verify the exact flow and to check whether adapted handbike rides are currently being organised.
The museum reportedly has parking and is within walking distance of Roeselare station. The centre of Roeselare is predominantly level and lends itself to a broader cultural day.
