May is National Bike Month in Mass!! I am very excited for this. There is a "Bay State Bike Week" from May 11th - May 17th! Riding your bike is a great way to stay healthy and lower your carbon footprint. I get a bit nervous riding when its dark out, so sometimes I will ride my bike one way and take the T home. Fabulous! When I was visiting my friends in Newport I brought my bike to go get coffee the next morning!

There are three key events that happen:

250,000 Mile Pledge- a pledge to bike during bike week
MassCommuter Challenge- a corporate biking challenge
Mayor Menino's Bike Week Festival, May 15th- a bike celebration in Downtown Boston with free breakfast!

All sound like a blast. There are events that are happening all over mass. Click HERE For a link to the calendar!

So many options to ride your bike!!!!

Here is some information about the Mass State Bike Organization:
