Whether it’s to help the environment or just for fun, more people are turning to bicycles for commuting and recreation these days. With this trend in mind, a number of area communities are taking advantage of modest grants to encourage biking and make it easier for bikers.
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council, a regional nonprofit, is giving cities and towns in Greater Boston grants to buy bicycle racks. The grants are based on local population, and range from about $3,000 to more than $17,000. (Milton is one of the communities to take advantage of this. Read the full story here).
