As a cyclist, I know that MassBike is committed to making our roads safer for cycling and advocating on behalf of every type of cyclist, from roadie, to mountain biker, from commuter to racer. As manager of a fundraising bicycle tour for the American Diabetes Association, I recognize that MassBike's work helps us get more people on bikes. This does more than helps us recruit more people to ride in our fundraising events. It supports our efforts to encourage an active lifestyle that can help prevent diabetes and helps those with diabetes better manage their disease and cut down on complications.
