Compare to before: THIS is how you build a car-optional city 1. Identify the missing links in the mobility network 2. Simplify the street, this stretch was 2 way for cars, is now one way 3. Remove street parking. Our lives are more valuable than free car storage 4. People move freely & safely!

Wow wow wow, I got to ride on this stretch of bi-directional cycle track on Central Street in Somerville last night. I don't think I've seen anything like this in the Boston area. NOTICE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE Impressive work by @somervilleinfr1.bsky.social. @wutrain.bsky.social pls take note

someone posted these photos of thumbtacks strewn upon a bike lane on a busy street in my city. people know this is not particularly unusual, right?

The ADA is over thirty-five years old, and even a hyper-wealthy inner-ring city like mine can’t / won’t comply in the public realm.

did I mention that the driver has an ongoing case for drunk driving? it's not clear if it was even legal for them to operate the vehicle at the time, as nominally an OUI leads to a 30-day license suspension (and the OUI was <30 days before the ramming). considering how much this reeks of "this […]

We invited Sam Westby, a local bikey instagrammer, along on our HONKoween #BikeBus parade, and he produced this nice reel that’s getting some exposure over there. www.instagram.com/reel/DQzVB2A...

Twas a good day #biketooter

BTW: The new five-person Bike Champion majority on Cambridge City Council have all ridden multiple times with the Peabody/RAUC #BikeBus. Kids on bikes have caregivers who vote.

@cambbikesafety.bsky.social with a huge night in #CambMA, top 5 are Bike Champions, plus 2 more endorses #bikeboston

Big result for bicycling in #CambMa! From 3 down to 2 avowed opponents, Patty Nolan no longer the swing vote. Personally, I’m selfishly celebrating that Mass Ave north of Porter will actually get rebuilt, and our Bike Bus kids will get their safe route to high school.

Today’s the day, Cambridge! We’re been organizing for months, and now it all comes down to who shows up to vote today. After voting, the most powerful thing you can do is make sure your friends in Cambridge vote too. Commit to checking in with three friends today!

Go Vote!!!

Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the City Council election! Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm. Make sure you've made a plan to vote—and check in with 3 friends to make sure that they're voting too.

Y'all - go vote today if you haven't already! If you're in #somerville I would love one of your at-large votes, but there are competitive races in #cambridge and #boston as well today. I cannot stress enough how important municipal elections are to your day-to-day life, so please get out there […]

If you haven’t, go vote today! In Cambridge, I’m voting for the Cambridge bike safety champions and for NO school committee incumbents (with teachers union endorsees at top of ballot) Also for the charter changes knowing almost nothing but that CCC is against them and Burhan is for them […]

Want safe streets? Make sure your ballot reflects your values, Cambridge.

If people on bikes show up to the polls like they do at Prospect & Hampshire at 8:29am, Nov 3rd, 44F out, we got tomorrow’s #CambMa city election. Please vote for candidates on the @cbsiepac.bsky.social slate, and tell a friend! www.cambridgebikesafety.org/election/ (16 people on bikes, 3 cars)

We had a wonderful start to Halloween at the Peabody/Rindge Avenue Upper School Friday morning bike bus yesterday!

please vote in your local municipal elections on Tuesday (if you have one).

We’ve done four Peabody #BikeBus rides with the band so far, and each one relies on an incredible selfless army of volunteers. I’m so grateful to them without whom we couldn’t pull off this joyful madness. A true community. Happy HONKoween 🎺🎷🎃

Get yourself a councilor (and vice mayor) that is a bike lane

Gon' fishing #biketooter

Never stop biking #biketooter

Last week we learned the superintendent hiring was a violation of the public trust, of School Committee rules, and almost certainly of the law. Mayor Simmons and School Committee Vice Chair Hunter should resign. Here's what happened: letschangecambridge.us/articles/sch... #CambMA #CambridgeMA

Fun fact: I can bike faster down Garden St in the rain while stopping at every clogged storm drain to clear them up than people were driving in traffic (plus had a bunch of people using the bike lane in those few minutes pass me). Even in the rain, biking is the best way to travel if you want […]

Construction on the Mystic river pedestrian bridge is aiming to start next fall - Honestly a better timeline than I expected! This is going to be a transformational project for connectivity in the region. Via @streetsblogmass […]

Yea so miss me with that “empty 🚲 lanes” discourse. 🥱 Better infra—> more bikes. Hundreds of thousands of NYers rely on safe bike infra to get around and if London and Paris are any indication, this will go up dramatically with more convinient safe routes.

They’re voting! Make sure that you are, too.

being asked the hard questions here #bikeboston

We’re so proud of CBS’ own Jack Corcoran for sharing his story of loss and advocacy in @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social. Check out his op-ed to learn more about how we can build a safer Cambridge by voting for candidates who will fight for safe streets: www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Imagine losing your father, and barely a year later, having the insight and courage to write: “It took three deaths for me to start paying attention…. to begin working to elect pro-bike safety councilors. It shouldn’t have taken even one.”

Sitting in an office next to a busy road and drivers really need to calm down on their horns. It's called traffic, you chose to be in it, you chose to create it, you didn't need to make everyone else miserable just because traffic exists. Unrelated but, really feeling the need to get some […]

Who should you vote for in the School Committee election? Not the incumbents! This is very long, I know less about School Committee, and I may've made some mistakes, so please let me know if I got something wrong or why you disagree. letschangecambridge.us/articles/sch... #CambMA #CambridgeMA

The BU Bridge Safety Alliance will be giving the October Streetwise talk, titled "Keeping People Safe on the BU Bridge Corridor: Positive Positive Changes, Next Steps," on Wednesday, October 15 at 6 PM at Aeronaut Brewing in Somerville.

Excellent band logo #honk

We’re firing up the HONK Bike Bus again, on Halloween morn! We need volunteers! If you’re local to #CambMa, click thru if you can tote a musician, lend a cargobike, help out with publicity or marshaling or whatever! Or just come out the morning of and cheer us on! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
