About us
The Boston Chapter Bicycle Committee offers a wide variety of rides to cyclists of all abilities in the greater Boston area and beyond. We have day rides, evening rides, weekend in the mountains or on the Vineyard rides, short rides, long rides, easy rides, advanced rides-something for almost every one.
We also get together socially after the rides or at the annual rally and offer workshops where all can learn to fix a flat, adjust the brakes and ride safely and responsibly.
Our purpose is to bring cyclists together in a friendly social atmosphere in which people can acquire new skills and enhance old ones. Our leaders are all volunteers who have mapped out routes on some of the area's most beautiful byways.
Most of our rides provide a lead and a sweep, as well as a cue sheet and/or map. We do our best to keep you on track as well as to keep you safe! Helmets are required on all our rides. We also group rides into easy, intermediate or advanced, so that you can ride with others at a similar pace.

Audience: AdultsDescription: Join us for a fun & friendly 11 mile ride around the Charles river. The route follows the Dr. Paul Dudley White bike path offering lovely views of the city and river while sticking to mostly designated bike/pedestrian paths. We will move at a more casual pace of 8-10 mph, as we will be sharing the path with pedestrians. We will stick together as a group and outline regrouping points along the route. The ride should take approximately 1-1.5 hours.
Please arrive at the meeting point - Galaxy Park (short distance from the Kendall/MIT T stop) at 5:15 to be ready to roll at 5:30.
Participants will be welcome to join leaders after the ride for refreshments and good vibes near the end point of the route at nearby Lamplighter in Cambridge Crossing.
Helmets and rear lights are required, and a front headlight or headlamp is strongly recommended. Participants should also bring water and materials to fix a flat. A light bike lock is also recommended for the after-ride social in case we end up sitting out of sight range of our bikes.

Audience: AdultsDescription: This bicycling experience is for anyone who want to experience a leader-led ride in a loop around the city of Boston. The ride loops around the city for about 35 miles, using primarily dedicated bike paths and protected bike lanes, with a few road connections between some entry points. We’ll go at a more relaxed pace since most of the ride follows Boston’s bike path network, with a few stops to cross streets at various crosswalks. We’ll plan to make a few stops along the way at various points of interest, and for a lunch break. The route has very little elevation, with the exception of a section close to Franklin Park. The ride will start and end at City Square Park in Charlestown. From the park, we will follow the bike path along the Charles River. We will then join the Emerald Necklace bike path along the Fenway to Jamaica Pond. The ride then continues through the Arnold Arboretum to a bike path along the Southwest Corridor Park. We’ll stop for a lunch break in Jamaica Plain, then traverse back through Franklin Park before connecting with the bike path along the Neponset River. At the end of the Neponset River bike path, we link with the bike path along Boston Harbor past UMass-Boston and Carson Beach to Castle Island. From there, we’ll connect with a bike path through the Seaport to the Greenway. We will then follow the bike lane along the Greenway to the bike path along Atlantic Avenue, ending back at City Square Park. Registration is required for this ride. Participants need to be prepared to pedal about 35 miles over a time period of 4.5 to 5 hours. All riders will need a bike in good working order with a spare tire, and at least one water bottle (two preferred).
