Community Bike Ride in Quincy as Part of Bay State Bike Week


On May 9th Quincycles will host a leisurely community bike ride along a route proposed for bicycle lanes and “sharrows,” or “shared lane markings,” as part of this year’s Bay State Bike Week. The ride will take place on Saturday May 9th at 9am and depart Atlantic Middle School, 86 Hollis Ave. It is being co-sponsored by Mayor Koch’s Bicycle Commission and the Planning Department and supported by the Community Police Unit of the Quincy Police Department.

The route being ridden May 9th follows the Quincy Spine, a path prioritized for bicycle infrastructure in the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Plan. The Plan was adopted by the City Council in January 2015.  If implemented, the Spine would provide bicyclists a safer way to travel from Quincy to Boston, Braintree and Weymouth.  The Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Plan includes recommendations for improving bike facilities on several other streets as well, including Adams Street and Billings Road. Organizers of the May 9th ride hope the event will increase awareness of the growing number of bicyclists on the road and garner support for implementing the recommendations laid out in the Plan.
