Inspired by @bikeboston.bsky.social and answering the call from @mayorwu.boston.gov, I decided to shovel the bike crossing between the Southwest Corridor and Forest Hills. The bike and pedestrian crossings were in a sorry state, but not anymore! @massdot.bsky.social 👀

Thank you @mayorwu.boston.gov for the effort the city is putting into snow cleanup! As a person who commutes from JP to Brighton by bike, having clear roads and bike lanes is crucial to my safety.

It’s a fucking parking lot. People need to get over themselves. Build the housing, dammit!

Roses are red Violets too, if dyed Let’s take the lane together, riding side-by-side

For the record: I don’t give a shit about my investment portfolio and retirement account performance when rapists and pedophiles are being protected by the Trump administration. I would rather retire penniless in a country that holds power to account than be rich in one that shields the wretched.

I’ll be in the road even if the DOW is under 50,000, but at least now I have an excuse that the administration will see as valid!

Boston did not clear snow from the bike lanes after the storm two weeks ago, so our community came together to do so. "We just want to get home safe and alive!" @bikeboston.bsky.social @streets.boston.gov @mayorwu.boston.gov @universalhub.com @wcvb5.bsky.social @mass.streetsblog.org

It Can Happen Here

The fact that I’ve ordered a bulletproof vest in order to safely express my First Amendment right should really tell you something about the United States of America

Who needs deadlifts and squats when you can just walk a couple miles in knee-deep snow

What a terrible fucking day. Maybe the new episode Frieren will help.

@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social I can't comment on your posts but you recently made one about visiting Minnesota once this is all over. Apparently Alex was a mountain biker. I think cycling in MN would be a great way to honor his memory!

They unloaded an entire magazine into him while he was pinned on the ground, after disarming from his firearm that was secured in a holster. Even if the victim was a threat, he had been incapacitated by the time he was shot. This was murder. This was a public execution by ICE.

Pulled up to a coffee shop with @malaclypse.bsky.social to find a couple locking up their bike and they said, "Yay! More bikers!" When has anyone in a parking lot ever said, "Yay! More drivers!"

If only the pros outweighed the cons.

Delivering BCU “Bike Lanes Help Me Arrive Alive” Signs by Cargo Bike from CargoB. @bikeboston.bsky.social

What if Boston made it safe enough to bike to any neighborhood so you don't have to be afraid of car drivers? Photo of Blue Hill Av "bike lane" for no particular reason #BostonBikeLane

Mark your calendar for next Wednesday, July 30, 4-6PM open house for Circuit Drive project in #FranklinPark by Boston Parks. There will be snacks! www.boston.gov/departments/...

One intersection that bugs me every time I go through it is Amory and Green. Why is there no LPI literally at a T station? Pedestrians should be prioritized everywhere in Boston but particularly in high pedestrian areas like a T station. @jfh01.bsky.social @sofio.bsky.social #ArriveAlive

Why would you EVER deliver pro-bike signs from anything BUT a bike?

Riding a BlueBike to work took a whopping 21 minutes, up from 20 minutes in a sunny day! But sure, it’s the bike lanes causing traffic on our highways, definitely not the number of cars 🙄

Josh Kraft press conferences seem to show a lot of support for bike lanes and you can too! Get your lawn sign today from @bikeboston.bsky.social ! Delivered by bike or pickup in the Roxbury Crossing office bostoncyclistsunion.org/arrive-alive

I’m required by my work to rely more and more on AI to code. The more I try to rely on it, the worse it seems to be. It constantly generates bugs, unperformant code, and hard to read logic. I can’t stop thinking about all the resources I’m burning just to delete its output. The bubble needs to pop.

It's incredibly frustrating that flex posts are the only thing that keep delivery trucks from blocking safe bike lanes. Boston, can't we do better than this? Can we get some concrete here? @mayorwu.boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social @ben4district6.bsky.social

One thing to remember when you're driving is that you can always just fucking slow down

Check out this Boston Bike Stress Map made by Boston Cyclists Union! It’s a great tool to see the best way to get around by bike, as well as an illustration of how much more work there is to do. bostoncyclistsunion.org/bcu-labs-lau...

Please join us as we honor Gracie and others who have been killed by traffic violence.

Really proud of myself! Rode a quick (for me) 106 miles from Boston to the New Hampshire border and back. It was an absolutely beautiful day for a bike ride, and the rail trails of MA are such an incredible resource. Only got stuck waiting for one train! Biking in New England really is special.

My god I love cycling in New England!

I don Lycra for 50+ mile leisure rides in the countryside. I throw on normal workout clothes for my bike commute to/from work. I don’t even bother changing out of my street clothes to ride an e-bike to the local grocery store. I’m the same person in all contexts, no matter how you perceive me.

Camping on a bicycle is really fun! Rode 40 miles from Boston to Ayer and spent a great night out under the stars. Thank you Boston Cyclists Union for setting this up!

Takeout is even better when you pick it up by bike. Thank you @mayorwu.boston.gov for the bike lanes on Washington Street in Roslindale! Much easier to get my Shanti with them there!

Mass. voters were told millionaires would leave the state in droves if the millionaires tax passed and revenue would decline. Two years later, there are more millionaires living here than ever and the state collected $2.2 billion from the surtax. ips-dc.org/report-wealt...

Boston Critical Mass

the villain.

I think one of the gosh-darned coolest things about Critical Mass Boston last night was the sheer an amount of public transit drivers cheering us on. Both MBTA bus and subway drivers showing support for cyclist taking back space from cars. Truly a beautiful display of solidarity! #boston #bikes

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Here's a few of my favorites: frugalbookstore.net (Roxbury, MA) brooklinebooksmith.com (Brookline, MA) papercutsjp.com (Jamaica Plain, MA) womencraftsptown.com (Provincetown, MA) booksandbooks.com (Miami)

I don’t need a car to grab weekly groceries and a bouquet of flowers! An e-bike does the trick. One of the reasons I love living I Boston. We need to do better, but at least biking here is more possible than where I grew up.

Who needs a truck? If my Subaru Outback can haul 800 pound of mulch, maybe your truck is more for show than for practicality.

Who needs a car for normal errands? I can grab an entire week’s worth of groceries and swing by the florist to pick up a bouquet for my wife 💐. Those who say you “need” a car for everything are lying to you. Obviously, some people do, but so many of us do not. #boston #bikes #ebike #buildthelanes

@bikeboston.bsky.social is organizing a 6 mile ride for the May 21, 2025 #RideOfSilence in Boston to commemorate traffic victims in the past year Want to organize, marshal, or ride with us that evening after a brief memorial gathering in the Seaport? comment or DM #VisionZeroBoston #TheCostOurLives

Every single autistic person I know does all the things RFK Jr. claims they don’t. Being neurodivergent doesn’t mean you’re not a member of our community. With the proper amount of support, everyone can live a fulfilling life. Fuck off with this insane bullshit that some people don’t matter.
