An overview of some bicycle museums in Belgium and the Netherlands:

Netherlands :

Velorama, Nationaal Fietsmuseum in Nijmegen
Velorama (Website in Dutch, English, German and Spanish).

Belgium :

Nationaal Wielermuseum in Roeselare (West Flanders).
Wielermuseum (Website in Dutch, only one page as they are working on it). Between 23d of october and 13th of november 2009 there's a special exhibition about Carlos Sastre with pictures and some of his bicycles, shirts and trophies.

Centrum Ronde van Vlaanderen in Oudenaarde (East Flanders), with Freddy Maertens as your host (4 in 7 days)
RVV (Website in Dutch, French and English, but currently offline).

Brasserie De Flandrien in Oudenaarde. Not a tradtional museum but a café full of memorabilia.

Musée du Cycle in Huccorgne (Huy, Wallonia).
Musée permanent du cycle (Website in French and Dutch).

I was at the Bicycle Museum of America several years ago. I like antique machinery, not just bikes, so it was worthwhile.
