This will be our 4th crowd sourced event to benefit parents considering cargo bikes to transport their children by helping them to be able talk to a variety current parent owners that live in their community and try out the bikes. The goal is to supplement information from online and bike shop visits and encourage mode shifting. Test driving in a park can be easier than in the streets around a bike shop for new riders. It is also a fun social event for everyone.
This may or may not be an event suitable for children, especially for the owners-many children are not patient enough to wait patiently while adults speak, your mileage may vary! We are doing it next to a playground and this time we will bring some of our play equipment that we have at our bike rides.
Please fill out and submit the form on this page, we will use this information to try to make sure we have a good match of current owners to the interests of people shopping for such bikes to make sure the event is productive for everyone, and to send a reminder and announcement on rain dates if necessary.
Bring a helmet for any adult that is going to test drive and any child that is going to test ride.
Danehy Park is large, we will be meeting near the unnamed playground circled in map below, see photo below as well. There is a central paved bike road for bikes that can be used for the test drives. Google map link.
Shoppers will have to leave their state or federal photo IDs with the owners of the bike while test driving.
Light refreshments provided! Feel free to bring some too.
Date, time, location subject to change based on rain that day and also the day before (as we are in the date and spot of Cambridge Family Fun Day's rain date). Registrants will receive emails of any updates.
Family Bike Ride receives support for fall event expenses from these sponsors, who will be on site to supplement information provided by volunteers. We believe in providing a wide range of opinions and options don't favor any particular manufacturer, bike shop, or repair service.
