This needs the same attention as the ads about "America's love for cars." I've travelled across Boston at 10mph on my bicycle and arrived at the same time as a car that left from the same place. @thewaroncars.bsky.social @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social @bostonaruban.bsky.social @cyclema.bsky.social

Boston flyover 1993 vs 2023

Report Shows Bike Lane Initiative Positively Impacting Traffic In Boston.

Coming up Jan. 6: a MassDOT meeting about the Memorial Drive flyover bridge in Cambridge at the northern end of the BU Bridge:

I’m *extremely* appreciative of the major safety improvements that have been made to the BU bridge & nearby over the last year (it’s on my daily commute year round), but the flex posts at both ends were destroyed by vehicles within days, and it’s clear something more is needed for safety here👇

The entire federal government as mafia state: "Nice roads you got there. Would be a shame if anything happened to them."

Flexposts added to BU Bridge! - video by MassBike

Happy Winter Solstice!

When Americans travel they see how enjoyable life can be when cities are not designed around cars and ease of parking. Yet when they return many still fight against changes that would deliver the kind of dense, walkable areas they loved on vacation.

Politicians are for whatever gets them reelected. We need to make it very uncomfortable for people who block the things that prevent road death Right now you can write a letter to the mayor, city council and new Chief of Streets to tell them #SafeStreetsCantWait bsky.app/profile/bike...

I ride a 3 wheel electric trike and ride year round The days I don't bike are days I probably wouldn't drive. The city has been good about plowing bike lanes overall www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrsWLR7E/

Boston Data Show Streets With New Bike Lanes Successfully Shift Traffic, With Fewer Cars and Way More Bikes - mass.streetsblog.org/2025/12/05/b...

If more people bike, walk, or take public transit there will be more parking spots for those who need to drive. One way to guarantee more parking for disabled people is to convert "regular" spots into disabled spots. But most drivers would be apoplectic if you suggest that.

Winter really makes it clear just how little our cities care about anyone not traveling in a car. People use bike paths and sidewalks year-round!

Green Line Extension Community Bike Path very icy this morning!

i hope that we can make positive decisions 4 increased protected bike lanes, increased public transit train & bus expansion & reduction of car usage for our streets even though we absolutely KNOW that car drivers will be outraged. They were outraged with seatbelts & not being able to drink n drive.

Officials beginning to think about congestion pricing again; should people in the western suburbs be particularly worried? www.universalhub.com/2025/officia... #Boston

Happy Thanksgiving from the City of Boston and one of its adorable bike lane sweepers!

Big news! @thewaroncars.bsky.social will be on @wgbh.org @gbhnews.bsky.social Jim and Margery show tomorrow (starts at 11AM) to discuss their new book Life After Cars Give @sgoodyear.bsky.social & @brooklynspoke.bsky.social a call in and a big Boston welcome www.wgbh.org/shows/boston...

It's pretty notable to hear Brendan Crighton mention congestion pricing, as he represents Lynn, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Nahant, Saugus, and Swampscott. Lynn and Swampscott have commuter rail stops, but those are all significant car commuter towns.

The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it. Full report: www.boston.gov/sites/defaul...

Speed bumps have made roads safer. Asking only ppl who drive if they like them is a wild way of slanting the conversation @wgbh.org as a parent seeing how many cars slow down coming up to them it gives me hope mb my kids won't get hit by a car if we can train ppl to slow down. Use speed cameras too

Riding to the "Ride for Your Life" event yesterday I passed George Clemmer's ghost bike on Mass Av at Huntington Av A reminder that even in places we know are deadly, we've done nothing to prevent crashes by protecting vulnerable street users traveling outside of cars @bostonaruban.bsky.social

Ride for your Life - Leading 200 riders on World Day of Remembrance from Cambridge Common to Mass State House in Boston.

This Sunday, November 16th, is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. It's a day when we remember those lost to the persistent but preventable epidemic of traffic violence. #WDoR2025

Thank you Cars & Trucks!

This Sunday I'll be leading the Ride for your Life. Join us!

I like these sidewalk-level bike lanes that also have separation from pedestrian space on the sidewalk with pretty materials like cobblestone and/or trees.

I'll be leading the World Day of Remembrance Boston Ride this Sunday Nov. 16 from Cambridge Common at 11:00am and bike to the Mass State House. #RideForYourLife

If People magazine of all places is writing about safer streets and giant SUVs then maybe our political leaders could show some courage and not capitulate to the vocal minority who want drivers to keep on killing

Boston Cyclists Union Board & Staff @bikeboston.bsky.social

Street parking makes no sense TBH & our strategy moving forward needs to plan for delivery, trash pickup, taxi drop off, dedicated bike lanes, expanded sidewalks and utility strips for light posts and electrical boxes or postal boxes instead of putting them into sidewalks taking space from sidewalks

Hit me up when the master developer of 23 acre Seaport Square completes construction of a single public park for residents/visitors, rather than spending a decade getting accolades for activating vacant lots already fully permitted for future towers. Seaport Common? Under construction since 2013.
