Join Planet Southie Bikes for a casual bicycle ride around the neighborhood. Nicole Freedman, Director of Boston Bikes, will be our special guest for the ride. Nicole will share with us the City's plans for bicycle lanes that may be in the works for Southie residents, and we will also have the opportunity to share our thoughts about what its like to ride here and where we'd like to see improvements.
Cyclists of all abilities are encouraged to attend. Please keep in mind that we'll be sharing the road with other vehicles. Helmets & smiles mandatory.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
Please, please, PLEASE ask them to do a refresher of biking road rules before heading out! I have been hit by bikes as a pedestrian twice in the last two years, and I have nearly hit more than a few who were running red lights/stop signs or turning left on a red. Pedestrians can be just as bad about breaking rules (as can cars), but they tend to move slow enough that I can stop in plenty of time! Bikes scare the crap out of me!
