MassCommute Bicycle Challenge 2019
Get ready for the 25th annual MassCommute Bicycle Challenge (#MCBC2019)! We are gearing up for another year of hitting the roads & trails on 2 wheels! We've got a few events planned for our members, check out the events calendar.
May is BayState Bike Month! Now that the temps are starting to warm up a bit, it’s time to get the bikes out of storage, and start logging some bicycling trips in the friendly state-wide company and municipal challenge known as the MassCommute Bicycle Challenge .

Simply register and log your bike trips May 11 th -May 19 th . Both the number of trips and total miles count. So think about bike commuting a few times a week, possibly biking with your kids to school, and running some local errands on a bike. Then, spend the weekend logging some longer recreational rides and you’re be well on your way to racking up the miles!

New to bike commuting or could use a few refresher tips? Join the NSMTA and the Beverly Bike Committee for a bike commuter workshop at the Beverly Bike Shop, 132 Dodge St #1, Beverly, near the N. Beverly train station on Weds, May 15 th from 6-7:30pm. We’ll have an informal panel discussion about bike commuting any distance from 1-20+ miles, go over some maintenance tips, and if there’s interest, ride a few tricky intersections together for practice.
Announcing the City of Salem Zagster Benefit
As an added benefit for the City of Salem employees, the North Shore TMA is offering complimentary annual Zagster memberships during the month of May to encourage biking, especially for business trips around Salem.
