Watching cars speed down cleared streets while watching pedestrians scramble over three foot high snow banks or having to walk in the street to avoid uncleared walkways has the War on Cars part of my brain very activated

Three takeaways for Boston from NYC’s congestion pricing scheme - The Boston Globe After a year of the first American program of its kind, there’s enough data to recommend the idea.

Congestion pricing in NYC has worked and has become popular. Cities like Boston should follow.

What type of trike do you have? I'm looking into options for my neighbor.

I loved The Americans intro!

Whatever it is, it's not showing up on FlightRadar24.

Let's go, Boston! Vote! 🗳☑️ @wutrain.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social

Sounds like my 2yo. 🙄😆❤️

Yes!

Sadly, I woke up to gunshots at around 4:15am this morning near this spot. Any information about what's happening?

P.S. we need a bike rack at your Boston location! 🚲❤️

Should have tagged @longlivebeerworks.bsky.social !

So tragic and so avoidable. I'm sorry. ❤️

I'm pushing for no right on red at Walnut and Seaver! I had an aggressive driver tell me to get out of his way so he could take a ROR while I was waiting in the bike box the other day. 😡

The bike is serving me well! 🍺

Ambulance Data Reveals That Boston Drivers Are 4 Times More Likely to Run Over Pedestrians From Black Neighborhoods - Streetsblog Massachusetts "Overall, residents of predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods are about four times more likely than residents of predominantly white neighborhoods to be struck as a pedestrian."

Sadly this is so obvious (and appalling) analyzing the data isn't really necessary. All you have to do is looks at the road designs and lack of pedestrian infrastructure in these neighborhoods.

Saw a rider take a dive yesterday. 😟

Just had this conversation with parents and staff at the Davis A. Ellis Elem School on Walnut Ave in Roxbury this morning! We have some traffic calming measures coming (in '26, '27??). Not soon enough!

It was wonderful to celebrate with 41 new, committed, curious, and excited volunteers last week!

Our intrepid crew!

6yo: "It's too dramatic"

A collage of two photos; one is family enjoying a craft activity and the other is me and my kids with a view of the harbor behind us.

Had a blast at @icaboston.bsky.social on #BostonFamilyDays! We love museums and are happy to support them with membership and tickets purchases when we can, but this awesone program allows us and so many other families to explore so much more than we'd otherwise be able to.

Somehow my 6yo's new favorite song is none other than Tears for Fears's 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World.' He wants to listen to it on repeat at bedtime...and I'm totally into it! 👨‍🎤

Green bike

Just bought this new (to me) bike! I love our long tail cargo bike, but I needed something lighter and smaller for commuting, and this fits the bill! 😃🚲

Greatly appreciate @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's thoughtful insights in my inbox every morning. Though her increasingly frequent references to the 1850s is growing concerning. Today's post drawing parallels to Anson Burlingame's 1856 speech "Defense of Massachusetts" gives me chills.

I'm still fired up after watching this hearing days ago! The Republican's plan totally backfired. Instead of getting skewered, our Mayor clearly, calmly and respectfully demonstrated just how stupid and absolutely full of shit they are. So proud of my Mayor and my City!! ❤️👊
