Brought to you by the BE+ Emerging Professionals Community, our 2022 bike tour will explore the development of the South Boston waterfront in light of climate change and coastal resilience.

Grab a bike and join us for the 2022 BE+ Bike Tour!

This year, we will be touring from South Boston to the Seaport, following the coastline to explore the area’s emerging environmental design, development, and ecological significance.

Coastal ecosystems are rich resources that provide flood protection, carbon sequestration, and major social/economic benefits. Because of these unique and highly valuable resources, building along the coast requires a careful plan and future-oriented design.

With this tour, we want to highlight some of the City of Boston and local architecture and engineering firms’ efforts to strike a balance between growing development and resiliency, while working to preserve ecosystems and communities alike. Nature needs us, and we need nature.

All riders are required to complete this Safety Waiver and Liability Release form prior to the event. After registering, you will be receiving a confirmation email outlining next steps and important information in preparation for the ride.

Event Schedule:

Participants will congregate at the starting point along the UMass Boston Harborwalk (seen on the left) before beginning to follow the route up the coast.

The final stop highlighting resilient projects will be at Fan Pier Park.

Afterward, participants can find lunch and continue hanging out at one of the many places to eat in the area, leave from there, or continue to follow the route on the map that will take them back to the beginning point (seen below on the left).
