Are You Dorchester’s Brightest Cyclist?

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 03

Got this from DotBike.

Dot Bikers, how do you light up your ride? Are you Dorchester’s Brightest Cyclist?

Daylight savings time ends Monday November 8th, which gives many of us even more time riding in the dark. Cyclists use all manner of creatively attached lights and reflectors to stay visible on the road, from the simple and practical to fun and colorful. Show off your strategy to be seen in the dark, and win great prizes (gift certificates to a local restaurant and bike shop!).

Send your photo to [email protected], or stop by the Blarney Stone on Monday night – the first evening ride of the return to Eastern Standard Time, between 6 – 7 pm. The Blarney Stone is at 1505 Dorchester Avenue.

Don’t have lights? Dot Bike will be distributing small blinky lights to riders on Dorchester Ave. from about 5:30 pm – 7pm. We’ll head into the Blarney Stone at 7 pm. Come see us! And meet Jack Pelletier to hear about his ideas for opening a bike shop in Dorchester.

If you can volunteer to help hand out lights please do contact DotBike ([email protected])

Ride Bright Dorchester!
