The National Youth Bike Summit is coming to Boston from May 30 to June 1 at Roxbury Community College, bringing together young cyclists and advocates from across the country.
The hosts of the 2025 Youth Bike Summit - Mattapan Food and Fitness Coalition and Bikes Not Bombs – are excited to collaborate with local and national youth to create a unique experience in the heart of Boston. the 2025 summit will focus on “Biking and Beyond”, how young people are not only advocating for cycling but also leading the charge for broader sustainable transportation solutions.
The event will feature engaging discussions, group rides, and interactive workshops designed for youth, by youth.
Currently planned youth-led workshops include:
- A tour of the Bikes Not Bombs hub in Jamaica Plain
- A mobile tour and history of Boston’s Southwest Corridor Park
- Intro to Bike Mechanics—learn the basics of keeping a bike in top shape
- Safe School Zones in Boston—exploring how young advocates are making streets safer
- Careers in Transportation—a look at job opportunities in biking and transit
Youth voices are essential in shaping the conversations at this year’s summit.
For those traveling to Boston, attendees have the option to stay in Emerson College dorms, providing a convenient and immersive summit experience.
