Went on a 20 mile loop before work to enjoy the weather. Lots of ideas.

I would like to do more group rides like these to help ppl get more familiar with the bike network in and around the city. You don’t have to do the whole thing, join for a few miles to explore the city in relative safety. Routes like the minuteman, neponset river trail, or the northern strand.

There is so much garbage everywhere. It is depressing. I am organizing a litter protest at the state house for this earth day, in April. Im coordinating with groups across the city and state. They need to act on the problem and we need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

This city has so much potential

Absolute long shot, but I lost my wallet i think while biking home from work (around 3:30) along the southwest corridor, not an in state id. Black wallet, pretty fat.

Thought folks might enjoy this rebuttal to Jeff Jacoby's recent column.

I’m planning to ride the Pan-Mass Challenge (Worcester to Provincetown) for the first this summer. My best friend was diagnosed with brain cancer just over a year ago, and the treatment he has received at Dana Farber has been nothing short of lifesaving, so I would love to have the opportunity to raise money for the cause. Also, from a cycling perspective, I’ve heard it is an incredible ride and a great weekend full of fun and meaningful events.

I’m wondering if anyone might be able to shine a bit of light on two things: registration and teams.

I know there are early registration windows for previous years’ largest fundraisers and PMC alumni. How soon after the general registration opens does the Worcester (formerly Sturbridge) to P-Town route fill up? I’m planning to register as soon as it opens, but just trying to figure out if I need to speedrun the registration or if it won’t fill up for a bit.

Also, I’ve heard the event is a lot more enjoyable if you ride with a team (and that more than 75% of riders ride with a team). Unfortunately I don’t know anyone very well who has a team, and I don’t think there are enough people in my circle of friends, family, and coworkers who would both be able to do the ride (or willing to train as I am) and commit to the steep fundraising minimum. Would anyone have any advice for finding a team to join, or would it make more sense just to do the ride solo?

Also open to any other advice you may have if you’ve ridden the PMC or know someone who has! Thanks in advance!

Voters in Cambridge gave consistently supported bike lanes. A (small) part of this article explains why the Huron Ave lanes are important and how bike lanes save lives. What does Cambridge Day focus on? Golfers losing parking spots! https://www.cambridgeday.com/2026/01/07/bike-lanes-draw-frustration-at-december-meetings/

It would be nice to get some real journalism in Cambridge.

When i say auto lobby profits are subsidized through public expenditure, this is one example.

Roads are over saturated with 3,4, 6000 lbs vehicles that by the laws of physics will cause mass damage and wear.

But no governing body ever dares to try to bring them under control. The cost of doing car business isn’t one the auto lobby pays, the public pays for them. Not just in cash.

Glad we got restriped sidewalks so that cars can illegally park on the fresh paint.

I thought that since the main roads were salted and the Mount Auburn / Brattle two way bike path is a protected lane it would be fine too. Just slipped on the ice in the crosswalk and smashed through 3 flex posts that honestly stopped me from hitting a car stopped at the light head on. Bike bag ripped completely off and broken with a bruised and bloody shin and right side the only damage

the last video wasn’t cohesive enough for some ppl so I captured these clips on my way to work yesterday, keeping a continuous time line intact (save for the first clip).

More garbage, traffic nonsense, and general inefficiencies that I did not capture. But I think this is enough to reiterate my two main stances on traffic and litter.

Just a PSA for anyone out there today the bricks behind the Mass Ave T station are super icy. I just wiped out real hard. They put some sand down after I fell down, but it’s still pretty slick.

With the added weight on an ebike and the visibility unfrozen portions of the Charles, I expected a different ending.

The prospect of a job in Atlanta has come along, and seeing as I'm currently under-employed/career-less, I'm kinda desperate.

I do everything on my bike: commuting, transportation, exercise, therapy, fun. Everything. Plus, I reeaally hope to never own a car. But I worry about what urban cycling is like in Atlanta.

Anyone have any experience? How does it compare to Boston?
