Join the Cambridge Bicycle Committee as we trace the bow-tie shaped boundaries of the city and celebrate cycling in Cambridge! The ride will begin and end outside of the Cambridge Public Library Main Branch. We will begin gathering at 9:30 AM and depart promptly at 10:00 AM.
The ride will be escorted by the Cambridge Police Department's Bike Patrol and take about two hours, including a midway break at Hoyt Field. Directly following the ride we will have light food donated by Redbones BBQ and will hold a raffle for bow ties donated by OoOtie! You must be present to win.
The ride will go at a relaxed pace, with a suggested age of 10 and up. We ask that younger children ride tandem with an adult (trailers, bike seats, tag-alongs, etc.). We are also planning a Halloween themed kids' ride for October 27 (stay tuned for more details)!
Bike mechanics from Urban AdvenTours will be on hand before the ride to make quick safety checks. The mechanics will be making minor adjustments, like tire pressure, and emergency repairs only. Please make sure your bike is in reasonable working order ahead of the ride.
The Department of Public Works will also be on site before the ride with their interactive stormwater display.
There is no registration or charge for the tour -- just show up and enjoy! And don't forget your bow-tie!
The ride will be cancelled in the event of heavy rain. For weather updates, please check cambridgema.gov/bikerides or sign up for the bike ride email list.
