The Boston LOL 💜 🚲 ⚡

I like biking. I hate inaction on preventing climate change. I think Boston could be the best city in the US, should have over a million residents, and be fully bikeable #CarLiteBoston #AutomateSafeStreetsMass #BikeJoy "be saintlike on the bike path" GP
If we, as a society, are serious about encouraging more bike transportation, we'd build more secure bike parking instead of putting the onus on people whose bikes are stolen.
Students: as cycle thefts soar, here’s how to protect your bike
Thefts spike during freshers’ week so make sure you choose a good lock and check your insurance

Bike lane expert here! This is not funny. Bike lanes only do this when they are under extreme distress. PROTECT YOUR BIKE LANES and watch them thrive again @thewaroncars.bsky.social @tomflood.bsky.social @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social (Walk Hill St, Mattapan, Boston)
This is a cargo bike review and the cargo bike itself seems decent but the lifestyle upgrade review is off the charts Basically replacing a second car with a cargo bike saves money, decreases hassle, and massively increases family together time & kid-joy. Try one out! electrek.co/2026/09/07/t...

Question for bike folks: Seeking recommendations for a small bike rack for residential use? We thought we had found one (linked). Price looked promising, but when we went to checkout, the shipping quote was $450 — nearly as much as the rack itself!!! YIKES!!! www.madrax.com/u-rack-on-ra...

This is a simple yet ideal commercial bike rack where appearance, security, and value are the most important traits.

anyway i think DC statehood is a non negotiable. only way to give DC residents the tools to protect themselves.
Tragic, but weirdly, the headline writers don’t refer to this as a car crash, unlike how they call it a bike crash when a driver hits a cyclist.

I've seen enough. The Cummins "Highway" (that name) complete streets redesign is a shining example of what Boston can do when we put people and safety first in our priorities in street design Sidewalk level bikeway, raised crossings, new trees, traffic circle slowing down drivers. Beautiful & safer
The Boston LOL 💜 🚲 ⚡@thebostonlol.bsky.social · 2d agoCome ride the new Cummins Highway redesign today. Honestly I think it's become one of the best designed streets in Boston - safe passage for all modes of travel and improved transit facilities. Congrats to @streets.boston.gov on a job well done! @wutrain.bsky.social @mohammedmissouri.bsky.social
Hyde Park Ave needs work too!! If we could get a bike lane up HPA (or Washington St, which might be more doable given it going through Rozzie), connecting to the southeast corridor would be amazing. Or heck even being able to bike safely to forest hills!
It really annoys me when people defending car dependency try to minimize the importance of mobility for children. Kids both want and deserve the freedom to move around their communities and they should be able to do so safely.

Canada could experience a 5°C temperature increase by 2100 if current climate policies remain unchanged. This would lead to glacier loss, more frequent droughts and floods, and an extended fire season. Reducing emissions and achieving net-zero emissions by 2075 could limit warming to 3.5°C.
Canadians should prepare for a 5 C hotter future, report warns | CBC News
The federal government's new report summarizing the latest science on climate change warns that under current climate policies, the impact on Canadians will likely be "far from benign."

Every time we bike together as a family on our cargo bike, our kid says "I don't wanna go home yet!" So my partner said one time "let's take the long way home" and now every time we want to take the long way home. I wish everyone could experience this bike joy.
I want to give kudos to #SomervilleMA for all the road safety improvements they've done over the past few years. Bike lanes, bump outs, traffic calming, etc. It's made a great difference. These are just the ones I rode through on the way home.
Got vaccines for the flu, COVID, and pneumonia! Gonna be so well protected from respiratory illness.

This has been a difficult summer for biking deaths in Boston. Louisa Gag was killed by a truck driver in July. Now we've just learned that Thomas Rose, a newer Boston resident who was teaching at MIT was hit by a truck driver in August and just died This was the 5th memorial of the summer 😔
