A-Bbikes “Ride Home”?
Hey all,
Sorry to flood your inboxes but I just had an idea (well, no, I’m
actually just going to steal an idea from the Dot Bike group).
So Dot Bike does a “Ride Home” thing on the second Wednesday of every
month where members will meet in the Common and ride down Dot Ave
(they have another meeting point by a church on Dot Ave too, where
they scoop up more members to go down to Dorchester with). And
apparently they’re going to try and start a “Ride to Work” soon too.
Anyway, I figured maybe we can arrange something like that as well?
If enough pple work downtown and are interested, we can meet in the
Common, take Comm Ave down, then get onto Brighton Ave, go through
Allston, then ride down Cambridge Ave to Brighton Center (picking up
other pple at certain points on the way)? With all the renovations
they’re doing on Comm Ave I know riding down it feels like you’re
straddling a galloping stegasaurus but hey, at least you’ll be in good
company, right?
It’s just an idea, but let me/us know if anyone’s interested!

Also if you are interested in doing rides that go from downtown to parts west, MassBike can offer ride liability waivers (thats what DotBike does), you will just have to listen to a one minute spiel about safety, and you
will have to wear a helmet. It’s a great way to sort of put that burden on someone else’s insurance so that AB Bikes doesn’t have to worry about it. Check out dotbike.org for more info on how they roll their rides.
