June 18-August 13, Thursdays, 4:30-6:30pm, free-of-charge, all 2-wheel and 3-wheel enthusiasts welcome (bikers and bicyclists). Just show up with a smile and some yummy food to share or a six-pack of alcohol-free beverages! RSVP appreciated but not required. Contact: Mary, text: 978-887-4202. Please share our flyer with friends.
Share a meal, build friendships, and experience the joy of belonging without the expectation of alcohol. Motorcycles are among the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the road — many averaging 50–70 miles per gallon — making riding a genuinely sustainable transportation choice that also brings joy, freedom, and community. It is a lifestyle worth celebrating and protecting. Riding under the influence, however, and doing so in dark clothing that renders a rider nearly invisible at dusk, is cultural practice that costs lives.
Community itself can be part of the solution. The Sober Biker Social offers a welcoming space where riders of all backgrounds and experience levels can gather, share a meal, and belong — without alcohol.
Our 2010-2025 History Serving Folks with Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury
For many years, we have hosted care-partners with loved ones living with a brain injury or a spinal cord injury. These individuals, couples, and families are on a long-term-care journey filled with challenges, but leading with life-giving choices, and hope for their futures.
Help prevent these devastating and life-changing outcomes:
The Biker Data Is Clear
FATALITIES
34% of fatally injured MA motorcycle
riders were alcohol-impaired (vs. 29%
nationally).(2) Even sober, motorcyclists
are 24× more likely to die in a crash
than car occupants.(4)
BRAIN INJURIES
Impaired riders are 150% more likely to
suffer a traumatic brain injury.(3)
Intoxicated riders are also significantly
less likely to wear a helmet, dramatically
increasing fatal head injuries.
SPINAL INJURIES
Impaired riders are 4.5× more likely to die or
suffer incapacitating spinal cord injuries in a
single-vehicle crash.(3) MA law forbids riding
with BAC .08%+; zero-tolerance under 21.
