SUMMARY:Group Ride - Chinatown Boston for Dim Sum

This is a family-friendly\, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited\, but all  children must be accompanied by an adult.  Bike helmets are required.  20 miles roundtrip\, however the route is very flat.   Be sure to check bikenewton.org for last-minute changes.  And to get emails about all upcoming BikeNewton group rides\, get on our mailing list right here. \nApproximate Route:   https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6804073 \n\nAdditional Biking News:  The Needham/Newton Community Way\nThe City of Newton and Town of Needham are working together to study the future use of the former railroad corridor that historically connected the two communities.   Click here to learn more about this exciting project\, and to take a community-outreach survey.

SUMMARY:Group Ride: The Noodle Ride - Now Sunday at 1PM
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first group ride of the year!  And this is a special ride we are calling the “Noodle Ride”.  We’re going to tie swimming noodles (or similar) to our bikes to help make drivers aware of the new Pedestrian and Biking Safety Law that was passed by the Mass. Legislature in January 2023\, and goes into effect on April 2nd!  Follow the link above for details of the new law\, however one major stipulation in the law is that all vehicles must give at least a four-foot clearance when passing bikes\, pedestrians\, wheel chairs or any other non-motorized traveler in the roadway.  The bike route itself will take us on an 8.3 mile loop through the scenic villages of Newton Center\, Waban\, West Newton and Newtonville. \nMeet in front of the Newton Main library on Homer St. in Newton Center.  Attach a noodle to your bike similar to the picture\, or bring a noodle and a bungee cord or some string and we’ll work on it together.  If you can’t locate a pool noodle\, no problem – join the ride anyway!  We’ll aim to leave at 10:00am\, but we’ll reserve time to make sure we are all “noodled up.”   This is a family-friendly\, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited\, but all young children must be accompanied by an adult.  Bike helmets are required.  Be sure to check bikenewton.org for last-minute changes.  Note: we’ve moved the ride to the Rain Date: Sunday April 2nd at 1:00 pm. \nApproximate Route: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7705125
