SUMMARY:Boston Neighborhood Bike Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Neighborhood Bike Forum (BNBF) uplifts BIPOC bicyclists across Greater Boston to build collective power and advance racial and economic justice in mobility. Although BIPOC residents comprise Boston’s majority\, they’re often excluded from decisions reshaping streets and neighborhoods. BNBF confronts this by centering BIPOC voices and solutions in transportation planning. \nHeld in 2017-2018 with 100+ attendees annually\, BNBF created space for organizing and policy influence. As cities transition toward biking and walking\, we ask: will this shift fuel displacement or support community self-determination? \nCome join us for: \nWorkshops with major BIPOC and streets leaders\nPanel discussions with major figures in the transportation world\nA “bike rodeo” for kids ages 2-10 (bike provided\, no riding experience needed)\nCaribbean food from the incredible Fresh Foods Generation \nBike parking and child watch\, and interpretation services can be provided. For child watch\, make sure to tell us you need it in the form below! \nRSVP here
