Yes! Traffic related to tourism is a real challenge. We need to support alternatives to the inundating cars that clog Newport's streets. Bike Newport and many local businesses are helping people to #gettherebybike - providing bike parking, routes, and maps for cyclists.

Lets talk about last night . . .
The moon showed up.
You showed up.
And what a finale it was! 💫

Thanks for an unforgettable season of Full Moon Rides — and to AARP Rhode Island for making this year shine so bright.

Emily stands sideways to the camera, holding her bike handlebars, grinning, with the full harvest moon in a cloudy sky behind her. She is in a field with other bikers behind her.

Emily’s bike, a light blue Electra loft with a lime green milk crate on the back, showing off her new headlight and neon color changing spoke lights.

Highly recommend riding around southern Newport with 60 of your @bikenewportri.bsky.social friends to admire the moon and water. Barring that, go check out the harvest super moon before she sets.
