Museum of Science Hosts ‘Pedal Power’ This Weekend
This Saturday, the Museum of Science will host a day of talks and activities to promote sustainable transportation throughout the Boston region, with free admission for visitors who arrive on foot, by public transit, or by bike.
Several local transportation advocacy groups will be tabling in the museum’s exhibit halls to provide information and advice about bicycle and pedestrian transportation.
There will also be a 1 p.m. talk from Vivian Ortiz, Boston’s “Bicycle Mayor,” and a 3 p.m. talk on “Cycling Advocacy and Accessibility” from the New England Mountain Bike Association.
The event is being sponsored by the HUBLUV initiative of the Conine Family Foundation (disclosure: the Conine Family Foundation is also a major funder of StreetsblogMASS).
