Dot Bike

The Washington/Talbot Safe Neighborhoods Initiative is having a block party at Frankin Field on Wednesday September 10th and DotBike has been invited.  This is the day of our monthly commute home and so we’ll end our ride at the Party.

Our commute home will take a different route traveling down the Southwest Corridor and end up at Franklin Field.

And if you happen to be in the neighborhood come on by.  We’ll be doing bike safety checks and leading short rides along Talbot Ave.  This should be lots of fun.

The next DotBike meeting will happen on Tuesday September 16th at 6:00 p.m. at the Dot2Dot cafe address 1739 Dorchester Ave.

Please note the slightly earlier than usual time.
Tasty food will be available for purchase.  We’ll talk about the upcoming Hub on Wheels ride, the sustainable transportation student presentations, the Green energy transportation alternative festival, advocacy efforts and other upcoming rides and events.  More details on the agenda will be forthcoming to the list.
Dot2Dot is close to both Shawmut and Ashmont T-stations and with 2 new city bike racks located right nearby.

All are welcome and looking forward to seeing you.

Join in the fun for the 4th annual city wide bike ride on Sept 21st 2008. Rides start at 8:00 a.m. and there are 3 rides to choose from.  Each ride takes in a closed section of Storrow Drive.  That’s right, ride down Storrow Drive with no traffic.

And after the ride join in the expo and festival happening on City Hall Plaza with food, fun and lots of displays.

And now you can register to ride with the DotBike team!  From the registration page after you agree to the waiver choose ‘Join a team’ and select ‘Dot Bike’ from the pull down list and complete the process.  Go Dorchester!

For more information or to register see the Hub on Wheels site.

This ride benefits a number of organizations helping children throughout Massachusetts.

See the Rodman Ride for Kids site for information on participation and benefiting agencies.

DotBike is working to assist a group of youth riders based out of the St. Peter’s teen center who are planning on participating in this ride.  We will help them get their bikes fit to the riders and in prime working order, get helmets and other necessary equipment and hold some group training rides.

So stay tuned for related events and chances to help out.
