Annual Bike Week Events

The City of Cambridge works closely with other Cambridge and Boston organizations to produce a regional Bike Week program. Annual events include bicyclist breakfasts, commuter appreciation giveaways, the Commuter Challenge, and the Bike Bash. These regional Bike Week events occur every May, during National Bike to Work Week.

Planning is underway, but see the links below for information about last year's events.

What happens during Bike Week?

The Cambridge Bicycle Committee holds a Spring Bike Tour, with different themes each year.

Go to more information on the Spring Bike Tour.

Weather permitting, the Bicycle Committee also hosts Bicycle Commuter Appreciation Day at various locations around the city.

The City of Cambridge works with area transportation management associations (TMAs) , the City of Boston and Harvard University to coordinate a regional Bike Week Commuter Challenge. In addition, the group hosts several Bike Breakfast events.
