  • Saturdays, April 18, May 2, & May 9, 10:00 am – Pedal the Necklace


    This spring, we’re turning pedals into power. LiveableStreets, Emerald Necklace Conservancy, Mattapan Food & Fitness, Boston Cyclists Union, and community partners are coming together for a 3-part bike ride series along the Emerald Necklace and you are invited.


    Each ride will be at a relaxed pace for 3–4 miles, with volunteers helping lead us safely on bike paths and lanes through Boston and Brookline.
    We’re riding to raise awareness about the Emerald Necklace multi-use path and to amplify mobility justice across our city. This is about more than a bike ride. It’s about experiencing the city in a new way. This series is for everyone, new and seasoned riders. Thanks to Blue Bikes, a limited number of free bike vouchers will be available for riders who need a bike.
