Somerville Bicycle Safety is working to improve safety for bicyclists of all ages and abilities by building a network of protected bike lanes connecting all neighborhoods of Somerville.
People who ride bicycles are good for business. They shop more and they spend more per visit. Studies from New York to Toronto, to Portland, Oregon, to Melbourne, Australia show that bicycles mean business and when riding a bicycle is made safer and more convenient by adding protected bike lanes and more bicycle parking, stores see increased sales.
Please sign the pledge to support protected bike infrastructure so that riding a bicycle to your business is safer for all people.
As an employer in Somerville, we support the implementation of a citywide network of protected bike lanes that provides a safe, reliable, and healthy transportation option for our customers and employees as an urgent priority.
