Alexandra's Bos-tréal Fundraising Page
Why Bostréal?
May 23 to 28th I’m cycling 400-miles from Boston to Montréal as part of Bos/treal to support the Boston Cyclists Union and their work to make biking safer, more accessible, and more equitable across the city.
Commuting and tinkering with my bike has been such a personal joy for me since moving to Cambridge but it also connects to a much larger impact. It cuts traffic, lowers emissions, only runs out of gas when I forget to pack a snack, and connects people more closely to their communities. So many pros! Supporting better bike infrastructure means supporting cleaner air, safer streets, and smoother transportation for everyone (including people driving cars!). This ride is part training arc, part- a huge learning opportunity, and mainly a fundraising effort to support Boston’s bike community and for me to advocate for better, more climate-conscious transportation.
This ride is heavily volunteer-operated and takes months of training and preparation, and through this page you can help me raise funds to support the Boston Cyclists Union’s advocacy.
Thank you so much for donating!
To show my appreciation I’d love to give something back- for every $25 of donation I can send you a post card from along the route! Your company many donation match as well- let me know if you need help navigating this (usually your HR will have a simple donation match form).
Thank you so much for supporting this ride and the work to make cycling a more viable way to move through our city.
Cycling is, at its core, human-centered, sustainable, and accessible!
It cuts traffic, lowers emissions, and only runs out of gas when I forget to pack a snack.

Swipe to see more about what cycling has meant to me and to my friends in Cambridge.
I keep learning my greatest joy is doing hard things while seeing the world with people I love! (Talia Freund is on the left, enjoying post-triathlon carb, also fundraising for BOS-TREAL, check her page out!)
