September is Bay State Bike Month!  To celebrate, Sustainable Marblehead and Bike Marblehead are sponsoring several events to encourage everyone to get out and enjoy bicycling locally. 

Friday, September 18 is Bike Marblehead Day!  Bike to work or bike to school.  If these are happening remotely from home, then bike around town.  Take a loop down the bike path, ride your bike downtown to shop for your groceries or to do some other errand.  Biking is a wonderful socially distanced activity.  Take a photo and submit it to [email protected]

During your ride (and for every trip on your bike), follow these smart cycling practices:

• Follow the rules of the road; obey traffic signals, stop signs and yield to walkers.
• Ride WITH traffic (not facing it) and use the rightmost travel lane.
• Make your intentions clear; ride in a straight line and check behind you before making a turn.
• Wear your helmet.
