This single family home in my neighborhood sold for $1.1M in late 2023. It’s had a thorough rehab, and is now being marketed as… a $3.63M single family home. Please tell me exactly how that is a better outcome than anything that the new base zoning allows, Cathy Zusy. redf.in/j0vMjR

I hate being a troll but trying to work my kid up to more on-street riding, and “just go around” isn’t a great strategy for a nervous 9-yr-old

Great fall ride today, chilly and overcast with wet leaves on the bike path

This is my second most hated street sign (can you guess the most?) This alerts you to an infrastructure failure in action. Not surprisingly I did not see all that many bikers in a place with zero bike infrastructure. Just cars cars cars cars cars. And beleaguered pedestrians

They couldn't even be bothered to change the "efficiency" to "effectiveness."

The results of my public records request for drone footage from the Boston Police were a little anticlimactic. I'll share some highlights here, but the TL;DR is that they fly around ahead of time checking out the rooftops around the protest, and then sort of skulk overhead while it happens. 1/?

MUTCD compliant?

Ever want to know if there is bike parking where you are going? @bikeboston.bsky.social BCU Labs is trying to make that easier! Check out our map https://labs.bostoncyclistsunion.org/bikeparking/ And our announcement that highlights the disparities of the different cities' efforts to install […]

Please join us for the 2026 Ride of Silence May 20th, 7:30am Meet at Harrison and Melnea Cass Ride from Melnea Cass to Boston City Hall on a silent vigil for the 38 pedestrians and cyclists killed since Mayor Wu took office.

I love when corporate america lies to you

I read through Rep. Decker's campaign contributions, discovered the MA lobbyist database, and learned that lobbyists love Rep. Decker (and that becoming a lobbyist is a lucrative career move for former State House representatives). letschangecambridge.us/articles/mar... #CambridgeMA #CambMA

Today, my GF and I went to a coffeehouse right after Bike Bus. I was wearing my Bike Bus jacket. A 78 year old lady who lives along our route came up to us, told us how much the Bike Bus enlivened the street, thanked us, and asked when the next brass band parade ride was. Reader, I did tear up.

RE: https://doyle.boston/@Kevin/116567148021210260 As a daily cyclist I would like it known that I would prefer not to be on the same path as pedestrians, but it’s the car people’s fault, not mine

@mayorwu.boston.gov is postponing a long-standing plan to improve State Street in downtown Boston with wider, wheelchair-accessible sidewalks, safer crosswalks, and a protected bikeway connection. mass.streetsblog.org/2026/05/12/s...

Hey #CambMa: Remember the Mass Ave Partial Construction project? Because of budget pressure, it’s no longer ‘partial construction.’ Most heavy construction work is now gone. www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/...

🧵Work Project: River St reconstruction 🧵 Will reply to this post with updates on a design project that I worked on that has now been in construction for a while. River St in Cambridge, MA between Memorial Drive and Massachusetts Avenue.

Today Community Pedal Power participated in Watertown's Ecofest at the Commander's Mansion. We had more than a dozen families stop by to try out a range of e-bikes and cargo bikes and learn about the E-Bike Lending Library. I love these events, because I know how much they can accelerate change.

Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services. I wish more parking-obsessed retailers & elected officials understood this. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness

Had a great #BikeToWorkDay! Saw many bike community friends, good vibes despite #Boston's #wuturn#boston#biketoworkdayn street safety. My ride into Cambridge afterwards highlighted the stark contrast of the choices both cities have made.

Very good editorial. Someone should forward this to Boston's mayor.

All the trains!

Another day another family on Garden Street #bikeboston

Watching Mayor Hidalgo stand by her principles and start a mode shift revolution in Paris has shown what is possible with political backbone. This city won and hosted the Olympics successfully, and her progressive successor was swept into office for keeping promises www.nbcnews.com/science/envi...

Where am I?

The son was in the back of the Radwagon this morning when we caught up to his friend who was in the back of a Yuba. The next 5 blocks were, at least in their minds, a round of Mario Kart which was joined by yet another friend in the back of a cargo bike at the very end. Furthering my belief […]

Anyone have a CSA recommendation? #CambridgeMA #boston

To expand here, as a parent who has to travel to Danehy and Maher from Cambridgeport half the year, I am a huge fan of what the city has done on Brattle and Garden and would like to see much more of that in my own neighborhood

I'm so happy that Garden Street gets to stay as is!!!!!!!!!

I support Councilor Tim Flaherty's proposal to make Fresh Pond Parkway one-way with a dedicated bike path

The Garden St vote was Charter-righted to this evening. Please consider writing the Council and speaking live or online.

Garden Street is for families! Why are we planning to make this street less safe instead of making other streets more safe!? @councilloralzubi.bsky.social @cambbikesafety.bsky.social #BikeBoston #CambridgeMA

"But a lot of people need their cars." Okay, so they'll have a very strong incentive to not drive in a way that can get people killed!

and despite the Mayor's response here to the critics who say there is a U-turn being "nuh uh!", she even herself states this pretty clearly: «we haven't gotten it right all the way over the last four years, and I want to make sure that we're doing it better and in a different way the next four […]

Turned on the #fleet game at the start of the third period. I guess you can thank me for how much better they are playing

Vision Zero, or Zero Vision? Yesterday 100+ activists packed Boston City Hall to demand accountability from the City. What did we get? A promise of a mere 2.5 miles of bike lanes, just 100 speed humps, and lackluster platitudes around commitment. Our city deserves better. Safe streets can't wait.

What are the best shops to check out e-bikes for a commuter? Bicycle Belle, anywhere else? @crschmidt.net @universalhub #bikeboston

RE: https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/116455320413850994 In which the City pisses down the back of anyone who exists outside of a car while telling them that it's raining

RE: https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/116455320413850994 The mayor sends her lackey to lie and obfuscate her changing policy due to a single disgruntled billionaire

If Waymo passengers are trained by Uber/Lyft drivers to use bike lanes for pick up and drop off, then ban Uber/Lyft.

It's a real lack of imagination and ambition that #boston doesn't have Open Newbury Street from Friday-Monday for the Marathon weekend. Tens of thousands (I'm sure somewhere there an estimate over 100k) of people going specifically to that area all weekend.

#bostonweekend - What cheer, Boston? 26.True Saturday, Midnight marathon bike ride, Patriot's Day and the 130th BAA fun run - rain midday sunday for #bostodon but 40s to 50 otherwise. What to do? Enjoy, enjoy your #newengland. A Thread.

#BikeTooter I'm struggling to find a good image of the risk of locking your bike to a signpost, anyone able to point me to one? Specifically signposts that bolt to a stub in the ground, allowing for anyone with a wrench to unbolt the post and slide it through the lock. I think ideally a gif or […]

cool to have the directions for getting to an interview show both car and bike parking locations, I think that is a first for me
