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.

This ride is easy to moderate, at a relaxed moving pace of 10-12 mph. Bikers will be expected to be ready for paved to packed gravel surfaces. Bikes from road bikes (with good handling skills) to hybrids are fine. Bikers are expected to be able to handle minor repairs such as flat tires and have appropriate clothing/gear to handle early fall conditions and be able to carry extra clothing if the weather indicates it. Helmets required, Hi-Viz clothing and rear red Blinky lights highly recommended. Riders will self pay for the $8.00 MBTA train fare, lunch and any parking required. Ride will run in event of mildly adverse weather. Sustained rain will cancel the ride. The MBTA train leaves North Station at 0930 SHARP and arrives Salem at 1002, fare is $8. Address of N STA is MBTA North Station, 186 Canal St., Boston. Link to the ride: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49102280 Link to the lunch stop: https://kpubkitchenandbar.com/#.
