LONDON – It's well-documented that most people despise all the long, pesky walks between exhibits at museums.

That may no longer be a problem. London's Science Museum has teamed up with Santander Cycles (aka Boris Bikes) to offer guided "Twilight Tours," allowing you to cruise between galleries after hours on two wheels.

The tours take place from Aug. 12 to 14, and tickets are allocated via a prize draw that can be entered online.

The draw closes on Aug. 4.

The biking tour is part of a larger Santander Summer of Cycling campaign, featuring Formula One driver Jenson Button. Other events include "Sunrise Cycle Tours" of ZSL London Zoo on Sept. 11 to 13, an Open House event in London that will allow free access to various buildings across the capital, and an event on the banks of the Thames on Sept. 5 to 6.
