The Fall
River Bike Committee organized a New Year's Day Bike ride to start off
2012 in motion! With temperatures in the mid-forties and a sunny, dry day
available, sixteen riders gathered at the CVS and New York Bagel parking
lot on President Avenue for a leisurely ride through the north end of the
city of Fall River. "This was a wonderful way to start the New Year
out right with a little exercise and fresh air," quipped Bike
Committee chairperson
Brian
Pearson. 'We want
people to know that cycling can be a year around activity, even here in
Fall River, as there are many great cycling days throughout the winter
months," he added. The Fall River Bike Committee is made up of about
75 members and holds regular monthly meetings, usually on the first Monday
of the month at the Community Room of the Rodman Street Stop & Shop.
