my friend had to push someone's wheelchair a half mile on the street because the sidewalks weren't clear enough for them to use.

I’m pretty bummed about Cambridge and Somerville’s decision to just give up on the bike lanes on Beacon Street these past couple weeks. I feel like it’s a big step back. 1/?

Credit to the BU Urbanists club who had been registering complaints for over a week, entering 311 tickets, contracting the mayor, Chief of Streets Nick Gove, and city councilors: no action whatsoever It was clear the city did not care and was going to do nothing. Enough folks were motivated to show

I’m a bummed by the incomplete job of snow clearing that Cambridge and Somerville have done. Even larger through-ways are still constructed (Oxford is today’s example) side streets are f-ing tight, sight lines at corners are garbage, etc, etc. Are we planning to wait for it to melt, or what?

Looks like a driver hit a cyclist with a child carrier at Hampshire and Prospect just now. Two police cruisers and an ambulance on the scene. I hope everybody’s okay.

Congresswoman who is an M.D. gained oversight access to Whipple dentention center, a Trump immigrant concentration camp in Minneapolis. She posted about it on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SxPn8n2Bfg In pictures is a rough transcript of her […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

All kinds of bikes at the Good-Pretti Memorial ride today

Maybe we shouldn't put people who kill puppies in positions of power.

"Safety Zone"

Please join me at the Anti-ICE protest this Saturday on the Boston Common from 11:30 to 1pm. www.mass50501.org/events/2026j...

1 feels like -10 😱

This shit ain’t ok Cambridge. My kid needs to cross streets tomorrow and crosswalks with piles of snow taller than him just isn’t going to work.

Since we haven’t had a major storm in four years this is the first winter my teen has been getting around on her own in snow and now she has to choose between climbing over snowbanks almost as tall as she is or walking (or waiting for the bus) in the street #plowsidewalkstoo

At some point, you gotta admit that putting it on the some guy who lives next to it to maintain accessible public space doesn’t work

When you make sidewalk clearance the sole responsibility of adjacent residents, and one of your neighbors is a big vacant corner lot

The Republican position on guns is and always was that guns can only be used by lone wolves to murder schoolchildren or by Republicans to murder whoever they want.

MA-05 needs to be represented by someone who will fight from the leadership position our Democrat loyalty enables, and this ain’t it chief

I am interested in hearing from people, especially constituents, about your experiences on X, and whether you would support a move to officially take the City of Cambridge off of that platform. My DMs are open!

Liz, I was happy to have you as my senator. I voted for you in 2020. You’re blowing it now.

“Several years later, my wife rides everywhere: to physio, to shopping, to restaurants, to doctor appointments, to the park — everywhere. She tucks her cane into her panniers. That’s important, because walking far still hurts. And cycling keeps us active and moving, which is important as one ages.”

#bostonweekend Cambridge Rindge and Latin is putting on their performance of Alice By Heart this weekend, and the shows we’ve been to there in recent years have been quite good

A sad day for cyclists. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning which will kill various cycling projects in Toronto & across Ontario. #shame #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

ATTN: #boston+#cambridgema #cycling folks In-person public hearing TONIGHT (17 Nov) in Cambridge hosted by the Charles River Task Force to discuss access to the riverfront and the ongoing safety and access issues for pedestrians and cyclists. 6-8 PM at Cambridge Community Center (5 Callender […]

At the State House for #worlddayofremembrance. Please, no more traffic deaths. #boston #safesteets

We’re thrilled that seven of our endorsed candidates have been elected to the Cambridge City Council, including all five of our Bike Champions, who finished among the top performers citywide.

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

I had to go to sleep before it was called last night. Thoughts: Yay! Congrats to bike champions and super impressive showing from Ayah Al-Zubi. To no one’s surprise, Marc “no you guys I’m totally gonna lose” McGovern did well Disappointed that we reelected Simmons after the corrupt and […]

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.

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).

Huge Bike Bus crowd for the warm up to next Friday’s HONKoween ride! Including @votejivan.bsky.social! At least five 5️⃣ of @cambbikesafety.bsky.social Bike Champions will ride with us! Join us along the route (we ride 8:10-8:25am) and cheer us on?

The superintendent search looked like mere incompetence, but we’re starting to veer into some new uglier territory bsky.app/profile/camb...

The MBTA is running trains with two bike cars on the Fitchburg line this Saturday and it sounds like buying a ticket (more than the typical weekend fare deal though) guarantees you a bike slot, and they are also running guided bike rides on the Bruce freeman rail trail http://www.mbta.com/fallride

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

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...

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

Happy October, Cambridge! Early voting begins in 24 days...

Candidates for City Council will sometimes lie and mislead the public. Here's why, some examples, and some techniques to spot these lies. letschangecambridge.us/articles/can... #CambMA #CambridgeMA

seriously folks don’t vote for any school committee incumbents https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/29/metro/cambridge-superintendent-search/

They fixed the timing on the light at Western and Memorial drive

Who is the moron at DCR that changed the traffic pattern at Western and memorial? They have the protected left immediately following the traffic from western, which leads to a blocked box every single time at rush hour. This is even worse for pedestrians and cyclists as the cross walk is […]

We're pleased that @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social Editorial Board is urging Harvard students to vote for pro-bike safety City Council candidates—and cites our slate of endorsed candidates.

Have taken the 77 to Arlington twice in rush hour in the last three months. It’s unusable, faster just to *walk* the 2.5 miles (didn’t bike because reasons)

For #somerville #somerpoli City Council At-Large candidate Holly Simione suggests stopping building new protected bike lanes and thinks cyclists should pay a fee to register their bikes.

Cambridge Bicycle Safety is proud to announce our 2025 Cambridge City Council candidate endorsements. We’ve endorsed 12 candidates, all of whom have committed to our number one priority: completing the city’s network of separated bike lanes on schedule by November 2026.
