Biking Groups

  • Bike Harvard
    • A student group at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Bike Harvard is dedicated to the goal of making bicycling safe, fun, and accessible to everyone at Harvard, with a special focus on graduate students. They provide safety tutorials for students, organize activities to promote a supportive cycling community at Harvard, conduct outreach to local community groups, and promote advocacy aimed at making city streets safer for all users.
  • Boston Bike Party
    • A free monthly group bike ride that attracts hundreds of cyclists from around the city. It’s a slow-rolling dance party on wheels. BBP happens every second Friday of the month and departs from Copley Square in Back Bay at 7:30pm. Party attitude required; lights, bells, and costumes encouraged!
  • Boston Cyclists Union
    • We’re helping Bostonians lead healthier lives by promoting the everyday use of the bicycle for transportation. Among other things, we repair bikes, educate new riders, and organize neighborhood residents who would like to voice support for friendlier street designs, bike paths, and public spaces. Membership gives you discounts at Zipcar and small businesses throughout Boston, and guarantees that your bike commute will keep getting safer.
  • Femmechanics
    • Femmechanics is a group of FTW (femme/trans/women) people who bike in the Boston area. We build community, teach and learn from one another, and create safer, inclusive spaces for FTW folks to empower themselves within the bike world. We wrench, ride bikes, organize events, and more! We are a horizontally organized group so anyone and everyone can be a leader. We host an open-shop time, called Grrrease Time, for people to come learn more about working on their bikes, and to help others do the same. We try to promote an encouraging, supportive atmosphere for people to teach and learn from one another.
  • Harvard Longwood Bicyclists
  • Harvard University Cycling Association
    • We are dedicated to promoting cycling at Harvard as a life long sport. Student racers as well as cyclists from the community are welcome on our group rides and benefit from our excellent coaches. Many join the club as beginners, but all who truly dedicate themselves soon become strong athletes.
  • MassBike
    • The Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition is the statewide advocate for bicyclists, delivering bicycle-friendly legislation and policies; better roads, bridges, and paths for biking; bicyclist access to transit; Bay State Bike Week; and community-based bicycle safety and advocacy education.
