<h1>RozzieBikes</h1> http://www.rozziebikes.org

RozzieBikes is a neighborhood organization devoted to making the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston a better place to bike. We're interested in street improvements, bike parking, bike routes, bike lanes, and mixed-use paths.

A network of bicycle routes, lanes, and paths is growing which can connect cyclists and their destinations to make bicycling a more desirable transportation option. An advantage of the bicycle is that the road system can be used to bridge uncompleted portions of the network, so there is no need to wait until the system is "complete". The network grazes the edges of Roslindale as the Emerald Necklace, the Southwest Corridor, and Stony Brook Reservation. We need to connect the neighborhood!

Keep Informed!

Wednesday, January 27, 2010: Bicycle Book Club
RozzieBikes invites cyclists from all over to Doug Mink's house (90 Wellsmere Rd.) in Roslindale. We'll be discussing Peter Zheutlin's Around the World on Two Wheels - Annie Londonderry's Extraordinary Ride, which is available at the Boston Public Library (and therefore also likely via other local library systems), as well as in paperback from local bookstores and (of course) Amazon (as new paperback from $11 plus change other used copies available, Kindle edition ($9), and MP3 audiobook ($16)).

Please also bring other bicycle-related books to share with the group, especially travel and round-the-world books.

Doug's house is a block off Washington St. a half-mile south of (and uphill from) Roslindale Square and a mile and a half south of the Forest Hills Orange Line station. There is some car parking, though less if it is really snowy, and lots of bike parking either on the back porch or in the basement. There will be some Taza chocolate from our November ride!
E-mail Doug Mink if you have any questions.

Friday, October 30, 2009: Go Green Bike Friday
7:55, Adams Park, Roslindale Square
8:10, Green St. Station
We'll continue our Last Friday rides by taking the Southwest Corridor to Ruggles, at which point some of us will split for the Charles River. Rumor has it that the wonderful folks at the Harvard Square Business Association are at it again, starting off the new year of Walk/Ride Days with a great hot breakfast! This year, they say it will be inside... Check the Green Streets Initiative web site for more details, and check in here for raffles and other challenges.
