Rides for Joe

In honor of our late, long-time director Joe Imilkowski, Bike Fitchburg, the Fitchburg Senior Center, and the City of Fitchburg Bicycle Committee are proud to announce monthly, slow-roll Rides for Joe. We will begin at 10 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month May through October. After quick bike and helmet checks and a brief educational topic, we'll head out on slow rides around the Fitchburg system of multi-use paths, generally avoiding traffic. These rides are free and oriented to seniors, but all are welcome. You will need to register and bring your own helmet, bike, and state trail pass. Registration will be open in April.
