A trip to the Arsenal Mall area, along the Charles north and south side, and other city streets.  It will show you how easy it is to get to the Arsenal and Watertown Malls, and to Russo’s market in Waltham, and what a nice bike ride it can be!  Group can decide which store we want to go to, if any.  Meet at the Newton Library on Homer St., and we’ll leave promptly at 10am.   This is a family-friendly, “no-rider-left-behind” ride and all ages are invited, but all young children must be accompanied by an adult.  Bike helmets are required.   12 miles roundtrip.  Be sure to check bikenewton.org for last-minute changes.
