“The 80s were a very interesting period for bikes in India. I saw people discarding old #models and buying new bikes very fast. I wondered what happened to those old #bikes, and that’s when I hit upon the idea of collecting them", says Vinit Kenjal, the man behind the museum.

#Vinit also points out that vintage bikes evoke a sense of nostalgia in visitors. “From dropping children to school and taking your beloved on long rides to giving lifts to strangers, there are several emotions associated with scooters.

I want to give the older generation an opportunity to relive those moments again,” he adds.

#Vintage Miles, considered India's first #museum dedicated to vintage two-wheelers, has 500 models of bikes, scooters, and #mopeds, ranging from Fantabulous by Royal Enfield to #Hercules Moped 1967.
