The Boston area is well-renowned for having some of the best hospitals and medical programs in the world. But did you know that Cambridge is also home to institutions and companies at the cutting edge of health research and innovation? In this virtual ride, the Cambridge Bicycle Committee highlights a selection of institutions and companies in Cambridge that have played notable roles in delivering care, services, and research in connection to the COVID-19 pandemic.
August 26, 2020 marked the 100-year anniversary of the culmination of the women's suffrage movement and the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment of the US Constitution, which prohibited the denial of the right to vote on the basis of sex and enfranchised many American women. To celebrate the centennial of this significant milestone, the Cambridge Bicycle Committee created a Nineteenth Amendment-themed bike ride that highlights sites and suffragists important to the movement in Cambridge and beyond.
While the Committee had hoped to celebrate this ride and anniversary with the Cambridge community, this was not possible due to the COVID-19 outbreak. However, we invite you to experience this ride virtually and out on the streets on your own using the resources below:
The Bicycle Committee has also created GPS files for the route, which can be downloaded at the links below:
