Cyclists kick off Bay State Bike Week

Fifty or so bicyclists gathered in Christopher Columbus Park in the North End to celebrate the beginning of Bay State Bike Week.

Many bicyclists across the street have pledged to ride 250,000 combined miles this week to show politicians that they are serious about their demands for more bike lanes, racks, and other improvements.

There are many events across the Greater Boston area scheduled to promote bicycling. For more information on bike week events, check out this page of our website. Also, check out this story from The Globe on the events today in Christopher Columbus Park that marked the beginning of bike week.
