If you drive, remember that a new vulnerable road user law has been in effect in #MA since this April. When passing a cyclist, pedestrian, or any vulnerable road user, keep a safe distance of at least 𝟰 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘁 and maintain a reasonable speed. 🚴🏇👨‍🦽🛹🛼🛵🚜 #SafePassingLaw

How about going to the Farmers Market by bike? Best parking in town at the Bike Valet!
With the long weekend coming up, we're challenging you to go somewhere new by bike! Jes had been meaning to check out @thetrustees Dinosaur Footprints. So, after a quick ABC bike check, she took a ride from Northampton to Holyoke. Where will your bike take you this weekend?

Wakefield Farmers Market & Fenway Park - two community institutions with Bike Valet!
Spent a lot of time at @fenwaypark this weekend and I’ve got to say the free valet parking for bikes is a pretty awesome ballpark amenity

What do you think about a Department of Sidewalks? "Local departments of sidewalks would shift power and financial costs away from adjacent property owners, restoring efficient, equitable, and accountable maintenance." A thought-provoking article by @Slate ow.ly/XhL250Pf0oj
