Bike Week Commuter Challenge Kick-Off Ride
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
We celebrated the beginning of this year's Bike Week Commuter Challenge
with a bike tour of Boston's bike facilities before the pep rally for
Boston Area Transportation Management Associations and their friends.
We covered about 21 miles in a bit less than 3 hours, from the South
End, Roxbury, and Jamaica Plain to Mattapan to Port Norfolk.
This ride was sponsored by the TMAs of eastern Massachusetts, led by
the the Charles
River TMA.
