Photos: Bike to Work Day 2025
With mild, dry weather and the scent of fruit blossoms in the air, it was an almost perfect morning for Boston’s annual Bike to Work Day celebration on Friday.
Hundreds of riders from all over the region joined convoys coming in from suburbs all over the region and convened for a celebration before work in City Hall Plaza (pictured above).
Among the celebrants was Evan Zinner, who biked in from Roslindale with his seven-month-old daughter strapped into a car seat inside the bucket of his yellow Madsen cargo bike.
“She slept most of the way,” Zinner told StreetsblogMASS.
“I bike to work most days. I don’t usually bring her, but we’re going to get her a passport this morning. The ride was great, it felt like the drivers were much nicer with a group of 100 people.”
In the line of commuters waiting to collect their official Bike to Work Day t-shirts, we also met Jeanette, who rode in from Winchester.
She told StreetsblogMASS that she’s mostly retired now, but wanted to join the Bike to Work ride “because it’s so much fun.”
“I used to work at City Hall,” Jeanette said. “Doing this ride with the group taught me how to ride on the streets by myself, and I’m very proud of that. I don’t have to drive anymore.”
