With Daylight Savings Time behind us, it getting dark a lot earlier. This means it’s that time again – our annual “Light up the Night” blog post! Even though we put out a riding at night post every year, I don’t want you to think that this post is pro-forma. We write this annual post [...]
Fall has officially arrived in the Bay State, which means changing leaves and crisp fresh air, perfect for outdoor activities. Why not kickoff this fall season with a bicycle education class?! If you need a little refresher course on the rules of the road, how to stay safe, riding skills, or just want to feel [...]
During the month of August we asked you, our members, supporters, and the cycling community at large to rally together and log each bike trip they rode online for the ClifBar 2 Mile Challenge.

This is it. On June 1st, our Vulnerable Road Users bill will die in the Joint Committee on Transportation unless we can convince the committee to report it out. We’re not the only ones who think this bill is needed to protect bicyclists and pedestrians – many of you have voiced your support and so [...]
