Written by Boston Biker on Aug 25

Got this fun video in my email last week. Looks like there are a lot of really nice places to ride your bike in this city. Not that we all didn’t already know that.

Get 10 Bucks Off Hub On Wheels

Written by Boston Biker on May 27

A little birdy told me this…

hub on wheels

MORE THAN 126,000 MILES… WE’LL CALL THAT SPRING TRAINING.

Dear Friends,

Bay State Bike Week was amazing, but that was only the beginning. With summer weather finally here and gas prices nearing $4 a gallon, it’s a perfect time to “kick gas” and start taking more trips by bike. And what better way to motivate than by looking forward to Hub On Wheels? Heck, sign up by June 1st and we’ll take $10 off the registration fee—just enter discount code ‘MOTIVATE.’ Sign up now.

If you rode last year, you already know Hub On Wheels is a one of a kind event. It’s your chance to ride a car-free Storrow Drive and a unique way to explore the greenways, the shoreline, and the neighborhoods we all call home.

Riders choose their own route: 10, 30, or 50 miles—there’s something for everyone.

No bike? No problem. Urban AdvenTours is providing discounted rentals. Reserve now and we’ll have one waiting for you September 21st.

All proceeds from the ride go to the Technology Goes Home program, providing critical computer training for families in the Boston Public Schools.

We’ll sweeten the deal even more.

Join one of our featured teams for all sorts of free goodies:

* Team Landry’s: First 50 get a $15 gift certificate
* Team REI: First 100 get a $15 gift certificate
* Team Ski Market: First 100 get a $15 gift certificate
* Team Wheelworks: First 100 get a $15 gift certificate
* Team Whole Foods Market: First 100 get a $15 gift certificate

These teams are open to everyone and joining is easy: just select ‘join an existing team’ when you register and choose your favorite from the dropdown menu. Or start your own team and recruit friends to ride with you.
