Bike Month starts TODAY!

September is Bay State Bike Month, and our statewide events calendar and bicycle challenges are up and rolling. With so much going on both virtually and in-person (distanced), we hope you will join us for a unifying month of celebrating biking in all corners of Massachusetts.

Some highlights this week:

• Sep. 1: Bike/Walk Holyoke Virtual Scavenger Hunt
• Sep. 2: Webinar: Intro to Everyday Biking (feat. Galen from MassBike)
• Sep. 5: Concord Bike Rodeo
• All Month Long: Ride for Food: Off the Beaten Path

And much more to come throughout the month, so be sure to check our Bay State Bike Month calendar often. And you can plan your own event and submit it for our calendar to help spread the word.

** 7/17/20 UPDATE: The e-bike and micromobility amendment 163 passed with a voice vote in the Senate to be included in their version of the transportation bond bill! Thanks to all the supporters and constituents who contacted their Senators to ask them to support defining e-bikes in Massachusetts. **

We need your help! This Thursday, July 16th the MA Senate will debate and vote on the transportation bond bill, which includes a specific amendment filed by Senator Sal DiDomenico to classify electric bicycles.

This amendment defines e-bikes to make them distinct from mopeds, so they can be regulated similar to bicycles. We need your help to ask your Senator to vote "YES" on Amendment Number 163. The vote is taking place this Thursday, July 16 so please take a minute to help TODAY!

This is our chance to ensure e-bikes are legalized throughout Massachusetts. Please contact your Senator before this Thursday.
