Bike Arlington Tour

Description

This easy-paced bicycle tour around town is organized by the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee (ABAC) in local celebration of bicycling. The family-friendly bike tour will pass on both the Minuteman Bikeway and local roadways, featuring informational stops along the way. Officers from Arlington’s Police Bicycle Unit are planning to help escort the community tour.

This year’s community bike tour is planned in collaboration with the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture and will feature brief stops at public artwork displays in Arlington Heights, Arlington Center, and East Arlington — including local artwork commemorating this year’s 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. The tour will also include a stop at the historic Jason Russell House, site of one of the bloodiest battles on April 19, 1775. Note that this year’s bike-tour route will include longer stretches of Mass Ave.
 

The BIKE-Arlington Tour is FREE. Bicycle helmets are required, and all participants will be responsible for their own safety. Bring something to drink. Meet on Sunday, June 8, at 9:30am at the Hurd Field parking lot (off Drake Road, behind Trader Joe’s). The bike tour will end around 11:30am in Arlington Center. Steady rain will cancel the bike tour.
