Want a weekend getaway within spitting distance of NYC? Throw your bike on Metro North (yes, lame-o bike permit still necessary) and head up to Branchville and then bike in the last three miles to the Aldrich Museum at 258 Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.

While their current show, Bike Rides, is not as comprehensive as it could be (e.g. Where are Taliah Lempert’s beautiful oil paintings? Her coloring books are in the gift shop.), it's still good fun. The Puerto Rican Schwinn Club bikes finally get the recognition they are due and there are also some great short films on cycling from around the world.
