Orange Line Shutdown – Group Bike Rides!

The safest way to ride is with friends! During the orange line shutdown, we are scheduling a series of group “commuting” rides. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or a first-time rider, we’d love to have you join us to beat the traffic, get a little active, and clear your head on your way to/from work with a zero-emissions commute. If you have any questions about available routes — or would like to lead one yourself — drop us a line here. Boston Cyclists Union is also keeping a “master list” of regional convoys here.

Each daily ride will have an associated return trip, but riders are encouraged to exchange details and discuss the return trip(s), as they may be subject to change day to day.

Meet at the Oak Grove bike cage at 7:45am. The route will proceed via the Northern Strand to Beacon Hill, arriving at around 8:30am. Return trip from Lovejoy Wharf at 5:15.

OAK GROVE > ALEWIFE (Tuesdays)
