Hi dot bikers,
The weather is looking unpleasant for Monday and probably Tuesday, so we’ll postpone the lights event until Thursday. There are two components to this!
1. Are you Dorchesters brightest cyclist? Don’t forget to send your photo by Thursday afternoon or come to the Blarney Stone Thursday between 6 and 7. See dotbike.org for a sample photo.
2. Help Dorchester Be Bright! Help hand out small blinky lights (and take one to be bright yourself!) from 5:30-7. Meet in front of the blarney stone. If you can help make any fun lighted signs to draw attention to this effort please do (and let us know at [email protected]).
Then at 7 come to the blarney stone and chat about bikes, lights, Dorchester….and hopefully Jack Pelletier will still be available to talk about his ideas about opening a bike shop.

Are You Dorchester’s Brightest Cyclist?

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!
