Fall Events

[Paul Morgan (Family Bike Ride)]

Hello, 

Our Fall Cargo Bike Test Drive Event is Sept 24th.   

With this event current cargo bike owners volunteer their time to talk to prospective cargo bike owners about their bikes.  Bicycle Belle and Wheelworks will likely be on hand with additional bikes to supplement with their knowledge.   Prospective owners get a wide variety of opinions and can test drive the bikes in the friendly to newbies environment that is the Danehy Park central bike path.   Sometimes owners selling their bikes are there too.

To register as a shopper, owner, volunteer or seller go to

3rd Annual Halloween Family Bike Ride

We are appearing before the Belmont Select Board Monday to request a permit to do a ride that we anticipate would go from Magnolia Park Arlington to Joey's Park Belmont in late October.   We are seeking people who have been to our events to provide written comments ahead of time about the safety measures, attention to detail, and number of volunteers you have observed at our events.   Particularly meaningful would be people who 1) live in Belmont 2) work in Belmont 3) are involved with an organization that might be known to Belmont.   

If you are interested please reply to this email I will send the emails to contact and a list of aspects of how we organize rides that may jog some of your own memories of observations.

Brown School Bike Bus

If your child attends the Brown School in Somerville, a Brown parent is starting a new bike bus this Friday.   Info here: https://www.familybikeride.org/brownschoolbikebus    Links to other area known bike buses on the links page.   

Family Bike Ride does not organize bike buses but if you want to have a webpage on our site for your school's bike bus, or a link on our links page to an email list or page elsewhere, let us know!   Also I could help connect you to other bike bus organizers or the MA Safe Routes to School Program.
