Taylor Falk is joining the Boston Cyclists Union (BCU) for Bos/treal (Boss-tree-all), a weeklong bike tour and fundraiser, benefiting BCU to work on improving biking for everyone in Boston. At the end of this month, Taylor and his teammates will ride 400 miles in 5 days from Boston to Montreal. Bos/treal is a gateway to biking longer distances, a leadership pipeline for bike advocacy, and a major source of support for the BCU’s work to make biking better in Boston.
Taylor will also be sporting ArkeaBio-sponsored cycling gear during his ride and we will be sure to share pictures of that as soon as he is up and riding in it!
