What is Bikes for All?
What is FNT’s Bicycle Benefits Program?
Calling all local businesses!
We are partnering with Bicycle Benefits, a program that offers discounts and benefits to customers who bike to participating shops.
Here’s how it works:
Businesses become Bicycle Benefit members through FNT and sell a bike helmet sticker to cyclists for $5 each.
Businesses will be listed on the Bicycle Benefits website as well as a shoutout from us.
Once cyclists buy the sticker, they are eligible for discounts or deals at participating businesses (BOGO, or 10% off etc). We’ll help with outreach to encourage cyclist participation in the program.
The cost of a starter kit is $25 and includes 10 stickers to sell to customers for $5 each, decals for your shop window and cash register and informational material.
We are pleased to offer the first 20 business participants the kits at no cost — just fill out this form and we will be in touch and drop off your kit to your location.

I'm glad we are partners with the Northampton dpw. I have a large list of streets that needs to be repaved badly. Also, who takes care of the landscaping along the Amtrak fence in Northampton? And that small section before Easthampton?

The Bike Party rolled through Florence & N'ton this past Thurs and stopped at Herrell's for tasty treats to wrap things up. Herrell's Ice Cream & Sweet Bakery #bikeparty Friends of Northampton Trails and Greenways
It was so great to have you all stop by. I hope you had a great ride on MA Rail Trials. They are so beautiful, and go through so many historic areas, like Northampton.
In the mood for an ice cream? This month's casual bike ride will take us through downtown and Florence neighborhoods with a stop for a treat or two. Meet us at Pulaski Park @ 6pm this Thurs Aug 17.
Are we stopping at Herrell’s?😉
