What we’re about
The Boston Chapter Bicycle Committee offers a wide variety of rides to cyclists of all abilities in the greater Boston area and beyond. We have day rides, evening rides, weekend in the mountains or on the Vineyard rides, short rides, long rides, easy rides, advanced rides-something for almost every one.
We also get together socially after the rides or at the annual rally and offer workshops where all can learn to fix a flat, adjust the brakes and ride safely and responsibly.
Our purpose is to bring cyclists together in a friendly social atmosphere in which people can acquire new skills and enhance old ones. Our leaders are all volunteers who have mapped out routes on some of the area's most beautiful byways.
Most of our rides provide a lead and a sweep, as well as a cue sheet and/or map. We do our best to keep you on track as well as to keep you safe! Helmets are required on all our rides. We also group rides into easy, intermediate or advanced, so that you can ride with others at a similar pace.

See all- First Spring Bike RideNeeds location
Come shake off those winter legs and join the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) on Sunday morning April 6 for an early season bike ride, starting in Newton and winding through Wellesley and Weston on well paved roads. We'll pedal for ~15 miles with approximately 700 feet of elevation gain, targeting a moderate pace of 12-14mph.
This will be a no-drop ride. Helmets are required, rear light is strongly encouraged. We will linger afterward to enjoy a cup of coffee together. This is a great way to start off the Spring riding season.

- Spring Ride Along the Charles RiverNeeds location
End your work week by enjoying a fun ride with the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) beginning in Charlestown and traveling along the Charles River to Watertown and back. This relatively flat route is 100% bike paths. Due to the number of intersections that we pass on the route, the pace will be relaxed. This is a great way to launch your spring bike riding adventures. Afterward, we can enjoy refeshments in Charlestown. Helmets are required.
