The annual BikeMaine ride has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The regional tour, which brings hundreds of riders to different parts of Maine each year, was scheduled to roll through Old Town, Lincoln, Patten, Millinocket, Dover-Foxcroft and points in between from Sept. 11 to 18. It was postponed last summer until later this year. But a monthslong surge in virus transmission and slow vaccine rollout has left the pandemic’s trajectory uncertain. So the Bicycle Coalition of Maine decided to cancel the event altogether.
