oh, my heat might actually kick on today
I haven't even been trying to not turn it on, the system is on, it just hasn't gotten cold enough in here to kick in

@knizer I feel like the mbta and amtrak should run special trians for the big e, because otherwise it's hard for an appreciable portion of the population of the state to get there

A promotional flyer for the Boston Critical Mass event in September 2025, titled "The Double Parked Car Danger Tour." on Friday, September 26. The ride is meeting at 6:30 and riding at 7:00, from Copley Square Plaza. The flyer is minimal, focussing only on the informational text.
Boston Critcal Mass just posted about Friday's ride, the "Double Parked Car Danger Tour", inspired by a 2003 route
Bike Lane Uprising data was used to confirm locations, and Critical Maps is again mentioned as a tool for catching up with the Mass

Map of the boston area, showing lighting strikes in Framingham, Waltham, and Cambridge.
The title text reads "Plenty of lightning incoming, tonight is a no-go" and there is a Poll for "Ride when?", which has options of "Tomorrow", "First Friday of September", and "Just skip"
Boston Critical Mass rides rain or shine but lightning is a no-no it seems
Ride tonight cancelled, and there's a poll out on instagram as to postponing or cancelling

The presenters from Critical Mass Boston shared this story at tonight’s Streetwise talk at Aeronaut - where a hundred-some cyclists just hopped out of the road to let an ambulance through.
Cool stuff.

@thewaroncars.bsky.social And it doesn't even throw shade toward the other lieutenants of the War on Cars in Boston! As though it's a one person job!

Meet the Man Driving Boston’s War on Cars
Boston’s most notorious cyclist in uniform — while drivers fight traffic, he pedals his way to influence at City Hall.
They say this like it's a bad thing:
"Peter Cheung isn’t just a cyclist. He’s the city’s most notorious bike crusader, the Lycra-clad zealot who cheered Wu into a full-blown war on cars."

@SnoopJ It's such a mess, and this was from only May when it had been open about a month.

@SnoopJ I heard through the grapevine that they're still hoping to do mechanical checks starting at six, though I don't think that's been announced properly yet

A sweltering heat wave is affecting millions of Americans this week. 🔥🌡️ Protect yourself and your child in the back seat! It's NEVER safe to leave them alone in a vehicle.
This is how quickly a car heats up.

A bicycle behind a fence in Boston Common
A cormorant in the Charles River
as usual, I only take photos before any of the runners show up, so have my bicycle, and I'm pretty sure a cormorant

A thing I did not consider when having a guest who's running the 10k and a guest spectating: I need to be out the door when the runner is getting up, an hour before the spectator
I'm doing my race prep by headlight currently as to not wake anyone

I have been sick all week, so I have not been on the bike, which is such a shift after being only on the bike last weekend because I was injured, and it's so nice to feel fast again
