Galen Mook inspires and informs at FFBW Annual Meeting
Galen Mook, Director of MassBike, a statewide biking advocacy organization, was the speaker at the FFBW Annual Meeting on April 17. He gave an informative account of new legislation to protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bikers, and to define and regulate e-bikes. He also talked about the importance of bike advocacy.

Galen Mook, Rep. Dylan Fernandes, and Alison Leschen enjoy pre-meeting mingling time. Rep. Fernandes addressed the audience briefly about his support for biking legislation.

The Bike Lab is back! It's now located in the shed at Teaticket Park, thanks in part to The 300 Committee, which leased the building to the Bike Lab for $1 per year. You can donate old bikes or bike parts, and volunteers will help kids, J-1 workers, or anyone in need to refurbish a bike, which they then get for free for their own use. This year FFBW donated $1000 to the Bike Lab to purchase lights and other safety equipment for J-1 summer workers. These folks spend the summers working at local businesses, usually with only bikes for transportation, and they often commute during dark hours.
