Radical Roxbury Bike Tours 

2. BIKE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY

"RADICAL" ROXBURY BIKE TOURS | Roxbury | 617.427.1006

Who said all the revolutionary milestones in Boston had to be the works of old white geezers in powdered wigs? Take a bike tour of the radical history of Roxbury, beginning at Roxbury Crossing with the well-known protest of I-95 along the Southern Corridor. From there, travel back into the mid 20th century, when cultural leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X captivated the attention of the masses. Bikers will pass the former headquarters of the Black Panthers and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. The tour ends overlooking the site of the 1968 Grove Hall riots through Forest Hills Cemetery and Franklin Park.
