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

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 cyclistβs discretion).

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 apologize for using the phrase βhappy endingβ during tonightβs city council meeting. I did not mean to turn the conversation again to my recent legal adventure.

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."

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

I like biking. I hate inaction on preventing climate change. I think Boston could be the best city in the US, should have over a million residents, and be fully bikeable #CarLiteBoston #AutomateSafeStreetsMass
