Get Ready to Gear Up!

Come visit AMOS' newest visiting exhibit- Gear Up: The Science of Bikes.

At Gear Up, visitors discover how the bicycle is an elegant example of basic science principles. They learn how bikes work; what the history/evolution of the bike is; the science and technology behind the machine; and how bikes have impacted our culture.
