    For Motorists:

How to safely navigate in a parking protected bicycle lane

Over the last few years the TMA has really stepped things up: advocating and following through on improved bike infrastructure (most notably protected bike lanes throughout the Seaport); ...free bike lights and other safety gear; and the weekly bike tune ups by Landry’s professional mechanics to keep everyone’s bikes running smoothly. These programs have gone a long way to get more people out of their cars and onto bikes!
