Bike Week 1997 Things YOU Can Do

So, why not try bicycling in Boston?

Does bicycling in traffic intimidate you?
Do you enjoy bicycling for fun, but you're not so sure about riding for transportation?

Become more confident by improving your bicycling skills and learning to ride defensively. An Effective Cycling course begins Wednesday, May 28, 5:30-8:30 pm in Kendall Sq., Cambridge. 2 more evening sessions TBA. Includes classroom, video, and on-bike instruction with a League of American Bicyclists-certified instructor. Other courses TBA later in the summer.

Contact the Bicycle Coalition of Massachusetts to register, 491-RIDE, or sign up here.

Talk with a real, live person about the trials, tribulations, and rewards of bicycling for transportation. We'll match you with an experienced bicycle commuter who can meet you for a ride (perhaps to and from work) and give you tips on traffic, routes, night riding and clothing. Sign up to find a Bike Buddy.

Or, are you an experienced rider who would like to share your bicycling knowledge and experience? Sign up to be a Bike Buddy.

Ask your co-workers who bicycle is there a Bicycle Users Group (BUG) at your workplace? BUGs can help improve conditions for bicyclists in a company and provide a way to meet other bicyclists.

For help in forming a BUG, call the Bicycle Coalition of Massachusetts, 491-RIDE.
