Boston Bike Party


The Boston Bike Party is one of my favourite things to do in Boston. A monthly critical mass of bicycle lovers who just want to hang out and enjoy the city on two wheels.

The group is young (just over one year old) and has some great organisation. Routes are scenic and well monitored by other riders, controlling safety at intersections. On the rides are a couple of guys who tow trailers with enormous speaker systems, playing the agreed set lists. Frequent stops allow a little light dancing and some photo opportunities. The usual characters can be found on two wheels: the guy who plays drums, a guy with his dog in a panier bag, a tandem, and of course "wheelie kid", It's great fun, and is well-loved by the Boston locals, always giving a cheer when they see us riding around.
