Bike Friday - Commute to Boston

This Friday is the first Bike Friday of the year. Convoys of police-led bike commuters will leave from various points around the Boston Metro area and converge on Government Center around 8:15am to grab a free cup of coffee and some bagels, meet other bike commuters, then get to work by 9.

Last year, I rode over to Buckmaster Pond where Fox25 was doing their ZipTrip to Westwood, but no one joined me until I met up with a couple of guys from Dedham on my way to the official start of the convery at the Roche Bros in West Roxbury.

Anyone want to ride this year? The convoy leaves West Roxbury at 7, so I plan to leave here at around 6:30 and will take Washington Street through Dedham, up Court St to Ames, then right on Bridge Street into West Roxbury. Join me at the corner of Gay and Washington, in front of Hogan Tire, at 6:30am. I'll stop in front of the Dedham UU First Church around 6:40. If I don't show within 5 minutes, don't wait for me...but hopefully, we can put together a little mini-convoy

Bike Fridays are also Walk/Ride Days, a region-wide celebration of green transportation on the last Friday of every month! So, wear something green for the ride that day, check in at the Green Streets booth, and be rewarded by retailers across the region. http://www.gogreenstreets.org/
