MassBike Metro Boston Kickoff Meeting

Wednesday, January 26, 6:30 to 8:30 pm, University Lutheran Church, 66 Winthrop Street in Harvard Square, Cambridge

The purpose of the chapter will be to conduct advocacy and outreach on bicycle-related issues of concern across the core cities and towns of the metropolitan Boston area. At this kick-off meeting we will define the vision and geographic scope for the chapter, brainstorm issues to be addressed, and lay out some next steps towards building the chapter as an effective working group.

If you are interested in taking part in this exciting initiative, we encourage you to RSVP or just show up! For RSVPs, questions, or more detailed directions contact Chris Porter or contact Dorie Clark.

Directions:

The location is University Lutheran Church, 66 Winthrop Street in Harvard Square, Cambridge. To find it from the Harvard T station, walk 2 blocks towards the river on JFK Street (one block past Mt. Auburn Street) and take a left on Winthrop. We are a modernish (1940s) brick building just past Pinocchio's pizza Ring the front doorbell (main entrance). There are bike racks on the right side of the building. The church only has 3-4 spaces of off-street parking but these are typically reserved for church use, so attendees who come by car must find on-street parking (challenging) or park in a garage (expensive). Park-and-ride from Alewife or Central may be a more efficient option.
