On Tuesday, May 9 the South Coast Bikeway Alliance’s 10th Annual Bike Summit returns. Join us from 6 – 8 pm as we gather at the James Arnold Mansion (formerly the Wamsutta Club) at 427 County ST in New Bedford to share news and progress along the South Coast Bikeway. Guest speakers include MassDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Pete Sutton, MassBike Communications Coordinator, Jes Slavin and SRPEDD Transportation Planners Jon Gray, Andrea Duarte and Sean Hilton. Ride your bicycle to the event or park free in the lot or on the surrounding streets. Check our Facebook page and website for group rides to the Summit. Please let us know you plan to attend by submitting a RSVP.
