So far today I have shared stories about:

A kid killed by a school bus

A pickup truck driver who hit a little kid tying his shoes

A driver who went onto a *rail trail* and hit 2 kids and their grandmother

Anyone who cares about kids should fight like hell to prevent traffic violence

Why don’t we simply just ban all the cars if people aren’t able to drive and park responsibly?

Just as a reminder: per Massachusetts general law, cyclists have no obligation to make use of cycling infrastructure when it is present and have the right to take the full primary lane of travel if that is the safest option (at the cyclist’s discretion).

The Serious Case for MegaCambridge* We’re one of the wealthiest metro regions in the country. Yet when it comes to public transportation, we’ve been stuck. In many ways, we’re just trying to keep the system from falling apart – let alone expanding or improving it.

Last year, I laid down the line - it was time to annex Boston and form MegaCambridge.

This year the official conversation begins. I've filed a resolution with City Hall to start proceedings.

Central is already onboard! Posters are going up. You won't miss them.

I again want to point out that POR 2025 #46 could have been an email rather than policy order. #cambridge

Sex work and sex trafficking will be examined, supposedly separated from a councillor’s case Sex workers and sex trafficking will be discussed by Cambridge city councillors in May or June, but not immediately and not the way some might want.

I apologize for using the phrase β€œhappy ending” during tonight’s city council meeting. I did not mean to turn the conversation again to my recent legal adventure.

We’ll discuss POR 2025 #46 at the March 31st city council meeting, which directs β€œthe Human Services and Veterans Committee hold a meeting to discuss sex work and sex trafficking.” And if you’ll believe it, I have thoughts.

As someone who started mixing in long pre-work bike rides as exercise into my daily routine, I have routinely said "The worst thing about all those assholes who say exercise is good for you is that they're fucking right."

Six months after Cambridge cyclist death, authorities seek charges against driver - The Boston Globe John Corcoran, a father of two, was riding his bike near the Boston University DeWolfe Boathouse when he was fatally struck.

Prosecutors are seeking charges against the driver of a vehicle that fatally struck a 62-year-old cyclist in Cambridge last fall.

Toner attends council meeting almost as normal, though β€˜brothel’ case makes it anything but that Instead of hiding as some called for his resignation, Cambridge city councillor Paul Toner attended a meeting in person Monday – finding it fairly normal, barring a couple of public comments and a half-dozen cameras examining his expression.

Spring is a great time to start riding a bike for transportation.

You have the whole summer to realize it's awesome and get so attached to the fun and mobility that you're ready to keep riding even when winter rolls around again!

A man standing behind a large white/black cargo bike smiling as he talks to another man with his back turned to the camera. A fence in the background displays worn ivy growing in between the slats. The cargo bike has a large rain cover.

We’re so grateful for the chance to share our knowledge and the joy of cargo biking with our community.
