I'm going to Japan in a few weeks and was contemplating visiting this. I'm an avid cyclist and bicycle activist. However, not a big gearhead. What kinds of cyclists is it aimed for? Is it worth a detour?

I was there two days ago - I'm not the most museumy person, but it's worth it if you're already in Osaka for other things or really want to see a wide range of bike history in the flesh. We were the only people there, so it was a serene experience.

I actually wish they would cover more of Shimano's history - they were too neutral imo

Sorry for an unprompted response, but if you’re enjoying cycling and willing to do detours, I’d suggest to check out cycling routes themselves. There are some amazing designated roads that are insanely nice and fun to ride when the weather is around 15-25c.
