Hi Dot Bikers,
We are very pleased to have State Representative Russell Holmes, who represents parts of Dorchester and Mattapan, join the Dorchester convoy for Bike Friday tomorrow morning. Enjoy a chance to ride with the Representative and chat with him about issues and encourage him to keep supporting efforts to make Massachusetts and Boston even more bike friendly.
And a big thanks to Jack and Ashmont Cycles for providing the Representative with equipment for the event.
