For those in the Boston Metropolitan Area, May 12th - 18th is Bay State Bike Week. The city is aiming to get get people to pledge to bike a cumulative 50,000 miles during the week.
There will be special bike centric events every day, and breakfast and snack stations set up in different areas throughout the city. This is a great week to give biking a try if you’re normally a bit intimidated by traffic. The city is organizing Bike Convoys and encouraging bicyclists to encourage their friends to bike as well.
Every since the Mayor got the bicycling bug some great things have been happening in Boston. Although that’s not to take away from the great work groups like Mass Bike, Livable Streets, and Walk Boston have been doing.
