Our Purpose

To be the first New England based grassroots cycling team to promote environmental activism & local non-profit outreach. We (Jena & Ryan) are both activists for the environment and a more sustainable world. We are both active volunteers for Bike Newton & Green Decade Newton (Jena is an intern for GDN). This Spring we will be leading a Family Bike Ride & a Spring Tune-Up. Jena is also in charge of coordinating the Newton-Needham-Boorkline kids PMC ride. We believe that the bike is a vehicle for a healthier planet. Commuting to work every day via the bike is always our mode of choice. We believe in a sense of freedom and empowerment on the bicycle. We live a life committed to community. Being local and having a sense of place are the most valuable aspect of sustainability. Both of us are emerging professionals in the field of environmental work. We hope that NE Grassroots will be our title sponsor. Please find out more about us & the ideas behind our goals on our blog!
