The legislative session is moving quickly and it’s time to get our e-bike definition and e-bike rebate bills moving to ensure they pass this session. To provide education & garner support for e-bike legislation, MassBike and the Boston Cyclists Union hosted an E-Bike Briefing and Demo Day at the State House.

Bay State Bike Month has arrived and the MassBike team kicked off the month with the Buzzards Bay Coalition & the South Coast Bikeway Alliance in New Bedford. We had an incredibly clear and sunny day to experience the gorgeous New Bedford views by Fort Taber and along the hurricane barrier. 

Mayor Coogan and his wife, Judi St.Hilaire, joined to kick off our bike ride. We appreciate their support and all their bike-friendly work in Fall River. Jen Carloni, Director of City Planning for New Bedford, joined the ride as we enjoyed some of the infrastructure she helped bring to life. Riders mingled before the start of the event, with groups of cyclists showing up from Dartmouth and Fairhaven thanks to organized rides by the South Coast Bikeway Alliance.
