—————–
The busiest time for bicycling in Massachusetts is right around the corner: Bay State Bike Week starts this Saturday!
MassBike will be out at events all week, encouraging people to ride and letting bicyclists know just how much we love them.
On Monday through Thursday, MassBike staff and Boston-area volunteers will be doing t-shirt and ankleband giveaways at various locations during the morning commute. In the evenings, we’ll be doing our Pump & Lube service stations, giving bicyclists some air for their tires, cleaning their chains, and telling them about what is going on for bicyclists and at MassBike.
We need volunteer support to make our events happen, so if you can join us during a morning or evening commute please let us know! We’ll have t-shirts for volunteers, plus our undying appreciation and the good feeling you get from supporting your state-wide bicycle advocacy organization.
If you can join us for volunteering, please email [email protected] to let us know when you can help out. If you can’t volunteer, stop by to get a shirt or get some love for your bike.
Here is where we’ll be:
Morning Giveaways – 8:15am-9:00am
Monday: Broadway & Galileo Galilei Way (Cambridge)
Tuesday: Southwest Corridor (near Stony Brook)
