Staff from the Fall River Boys & Girls Club and members of the Fall River Bicycle Committee  brought a number of young riders to the Fairhaven-Mattapoisett bicycle path for a ride on May 9, 2014. This was an opportunity to teach young riders how to ride bicycles safely. "This was a great opportunity to teach young people safe riding while having a good time and getting some great exercise," commented Fall River Mass In Motion Coordinator Julianne Kelly who sponsored the event. Youth will be involved in additional bicycle safety education over the summer months.
