Saturday May 11th marks the start of the 20th Pioneer Valley Bay State Bike Week.
A series of activities are planned in several communities to highlight bicycling as a means of transportation and recreation.
In one Springfield neighborhood, people will get a glimpse of what the future could be with streets designed to more safely accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians.
WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Becky Basch, a senior planner with the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, one of the organizers of Bike Week.
