BIKE NIGHT
Time to trick out your rides with streamers and bells: It’s Bike Night at the Hammer—when the museum celebrates bicyclists and their riders. The museum admission is free; there’s screenings of the 1986 BMX cult classic Rad, free vegan snacks, a cash bar, bicycle portraits, music, cycle-centric activities, and free and secure bike parking. Cyclists should enter the museum via Lindbrook Drive, and will then be able to sashay down a “bicycle runway” with their bikes.
