February Bike And Brew:Bridge to the Future

Saturday, February 3, 2024. 1-3 PM

Fort Phoenix.

As the design process begins for replacing the Fairhaven-New Bedford Bridge, what kind of a crossing does our community need? How can we meet not only our needs today, but as we consider our health, safety, and climate goals, our needs for the next several decades?

We’ve been so thrilled at the strong turnout & growing community at our Bike & Brew rides! For our February ride, we’ll meet at Fort Phoenix, bike across the existing bridge, make a brief stop so folks can check out the new Abolition Row Park, before heading into Play Arcade for bites, brews, and bridge talk.

Dress appropriately for the weather, but we’ve planned a shorter ride so folks won’t be out too long in the cold. We’ll head back to Fort Phoenix around 2:30pm, but folks are welcome to break off from the pack & head home as is convenient.

Please invite family, friends & fellow bike fans! Bike & Brew is for all ages & abilities and we want our whole community to feel welcomed & safe on our rides. Let us know if you have any questions or if you have any ideas for how we can make Bike & Brew even better!

Usual reminders: Helmets required for younger folks & you’re responsible for securing your own bike.

Bike & Brew Ride

Come join us for our first-ever Fairhaven Bike & Brew as we visit the Fairhaven Old-Time Holiday! On this short social group bike ride for all ages hosted by the Fairhaven Livable Streets Committee, we’ll explore Fairhaven’s bike-friendly streets and stop for a few treats.

We’ll meet in the Fort Phoenix parking lot near the tennis courts on Saturday December 9 at noon, ride through the center of town, stop for some warming beverages & bites at Traveler’s Alehouse, and conclude back at Fort Phoenix by 3pm. You’re welcome to join for some or all of the ride & the full itinerary is below.

Will it be chilly? Probably! Hats & gloves are encouraged & we’ll make several stops to warm ourselves with holiday cheer (and also hot chocolate).
