As a local business owner in Cambridge, we support the creation of a citywide network of protected bike lanes that provides a safe, reliable, and healthy transportation option for our customers and employees as an urgent priority.

Sign our platform here. Your public support of the platform is also super helpful in demonstrating that there is broad support among both residents and business owners for improving bike safety in Cambridge. We plan to post which businesses have signed onto the platform on our website and to promote those businesses on our mailing list (a couple thousand members and growing, primarily Cambridge residents).

The Cambridge Bicycle Plan, which we are asking the city to build out as quickly as possible, is also available. The network of lanes with a few reasons why it should be built can be found here.
