Effective advocacy on Beacon Hill starts with constituents building strong relationships with their legislators. MassBike invites you to take action by joining our 2025 Lobby Day on Tuesday, February 11th, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM at the Massachusetts State House.

This is your opportunity to connect with your local senator and representative, discuss key bike-friendly policies, and help ensure bicycling remains a priority across the Commonwealth.
