BIKE TO WORK WEEK

Monday, May 27, 2013
Bike to the Museum for $5 off your admission

There are always lots of reasons to ride your bike instead of driving your car - it's cheaper, better for you, better for the environment. During Bike to Work Week, there is an extra reason, save on your Britannia Mine Museum admission.

Ride your bike to the Britannia Mine Museum between May 27th and June 2 and get $5 off your admission cost - plus a free bike ride.

Britannia Mine Museum is recognizing Bike to Work Week because, if it weren't for mines, we wouldn't even have bikes.

Free for members or with regular admission.

Curator talks, showing photos from the archives, will happen in the theatre at 11am and 2pm.
