Committee discusses regional multi-town bike ride; liability, route and timing unresolved
Summary
Members discussed a proposed multi-community bike ride linked to A2K route announcements. Committee members said leadership, insurance and road-closure choices remain undecided and the event may be delayed beyond 2026.
A committee member (S5) outlined plans for a regional bike ride intended to connect West Bath, Brunswick and Bath around a recommended route announcement tied to the A2K process. The member said the ride was meant as a celebration after route recommendations are announced but cautioned the event may not occur in 2026 if feasibility timelines slip.
"This is a bike bridal for the 3 communities," the committee member said, adding that "it's unclear whether Bath or Brent will be taking the lead on it." Members discussed whether towns would close roads or run the ride adjacent to traffic, noting that road closures increase police involvement, cost and complexity, and that insurance and liability rules will determine which town hosts the start.
No formal decision was made on leadership or route; members agreed to continue discussions and to consider liability and insurance requirements before setting a date.
