Kitty Knox Ride
2023-06-10 09:00 - 13:00 UTC | MA
More info here: https://www.massbike.org/kittie-knox-ride-23
On Saturday, June 10, 2023, MassBike and coalition partners will host the second annual Kittie Knox Ride! This community bike ride around Boston, Cambridge, Watertown, and Waltham features the history of Katherine “Kittie” Knox, a bi-racial woman cyclist and barrier-breaker in the 1890s.
Riders will learn about Kittie as a bicycling pioneer and we’ll ride and reflect on issues we’re facing today in terms of racial and gender representation in bicycling and advocacy. A historical site summary will be provided for this ride by NECCD (New England Cycling Coalition for Diversity).
This is a free event, but donations to The Kittie Knox Plays, which will bring Kittie’s story to life in a series of one-act plays, are encouraged.

We also want to make it fun for experienced and new bike commuters by organizing convoys and a festival. We celebrate from 7 to 9 a.m.
Because you rode your bike, you’ll get a free breakfast and coffee amid an expo in downtown Boston. Join a group ride leaving from your neighborhood or just show up for the fun. Going to work after the event is optional.
