Hub on Wheels, now in its eighth year, offers cyclists a chance to bike around the city of Boston, highlighted by scenic views of Boston Harbor and a car-free Storrow Drive. The ride is designed for cyclists of all abilities, with the option to choose a 10-, 30- or 50-mile route.
Registration costs $45 and is open at Boston Cycling Celebration. Riders must be at least 10 years old to complete the 10-mile course and at least 12 for the longer courses. Bikes will also be available to rent, and a portion of the proceeds from the event will go to Technology Goes Home, a tech-training program serving inner-city families through the Boston Public Schools.
The ride begins at City Hall Plaza at 8 a.m. on Sept. 23, and all participants are invited to the post-ride Boloco
Block Party, which includes food and family-friendly entertainment.
“Hub on Wheels has become one of the best annual events in Boston,” said mayor Thomas
M. Menino. “It is a chance for the entire community to come together, get
outside and ride through our beautiful neighborhoods. This event, along with
the TD Bank Mayor’s Cup pro races, are also a culmination of another great year
of hard work in making Boston a world-class city for biking.”
