The city of Fall River has made rapid gains with bicycling in the last 2 years. A group of bicyclists formed the Fall River Bicycle Committee which now has over 100 members. This group of intrepid riders has been holding numerous rides all throughout the Southcoast and Rhode Island. In addition they have been working on bicycle safety, bicycle lanes, bicycle signage, and advocating for the Southcoast Bikeway, an off road path that will connect Fall River, Westport, Dartmouth and New Bedford.

Recently, Mayor Will Flanagan, appointed a new city commission, the Fall River Bicycle Commission. This official commission has as members city officials and avid bicyclists. Their goal is to improve bicycle safety within the city and promote bicycling with the citizens of the community.
