This ride is open to all. Meet at the Boston Common, Brewer Fountain near Park St station. This will be a fairly informal ride and we’re still working out the details but the basic proposed framework is: The ride will begin at 5:30 pm and the proposed route will go from the Boston Common (meeting place 1) and will go to Dorchester Ave. and then proceed down Dorchester Ave. to end in Lower Mills. There will be at least two additional locations to meet and join the ride - the South Bay Center and VietAid at Fields Corner have been proposed. Definite locations and times for these sites TBA. Riders can join or drop off the ride at any point along the route and we plan to ride together as a group obeying all traffic regulations so no one will be dropped. The primary aims of this ride are to allow dotbikers to meet each other while having fun participating in the activity that has brought us together and to promote driver awareness. Let’s get drivers used to seeing bicyclists sharing the roads of Dorchester. Rain date is Thursday March 13th. See http://dotbike.bostonbiker.org for details.
