Please bring sneakers or other non-biking shoes for the tour. After the tour we'll go to (optional) the Bushel N Peck Deli right down the street and/or picnic in Central Park. There is an entrance fee for the Museum. For group Admission, it's $5 per person or $50 for a group of less than 10. Individual admission is $10/adult or $7/senior.
I would like to encourage all riders to come. If there are any difficult hills, I will get off my bike and walk up with anyone who wants to.
