This is a great essay about how a person gets "radicalized" into becoming a street safety activist simply because they don't want to die crossing the street or want to travel in a city without a car. Reminds me of @tomflood.bsky.social #BikingInBoston

In one year, total mileage on my Cannondale Quick almost doubled from 5,280 miles in 2024 to 9,229 miles. More trips to Salem, Marshfield and Waltham contributed to the spike, but it's mostly from bicycle delivery gigs.

And a very wintery Boston #CriticalMass to you! #BikingInBoston #BOSBike #BikeBOS
This was Mass Av last night (westbound to the bridge) right at Columbus. See if you can find the bike lane! @wutrain.bsky.social @streets.boston.gov #BikingInBoston #ArriveAlive

Decided to go to a show tonight and biked (more on that later), but got caught in an amazing snow flurry heading back on the Southwest Corridor and winter biking is such a rush. It's nice to have one outdoor activity that can feel good this time of year #BikeIsLife #BikingInBoston
Okay, feels like -5° is a bit rough.
#davesbike #davesbikerides #bikinginboston #bikelife #coldweathercycling #wintercycling
Ridiculous jobs like mine can be enlightening. Tonight's lesson: I can endure cycling in 5° weather (no wind or rain).

Straight to jail! #BikingInBoston #BikeSnow #WinterBiking
Brenda gonna call the police on me this and every year. Except these are all from previous years bc there is so little snow here now @lauragmitchell.com

Post your winter biking photos here!
This is going back a few years, but I love festive winter bike rides. Tis the season! #BikingInBoston #BOSBike #BikeBOS 🎅🎄🎁🔔🚲🦌
GPS fail, Greenbush from Marshfield: Staying on Bridle Rail trail all the way to Station Street id the most direct route to Greenbush. #davesbikerides #bikinginboston #cyclinglife #gpsfail

Marshfield to Greenbush via Summer Street: Staying on Bridle Path to Pinehurst Road is faster and more direct than my usual route of leaving the trail at Ferry Street to Church.

GPS thinks biking to Lancaster is only three minutes slower than driving there.
#davesbikerides #bikinginboston #cyclinglife #gpsfail
WTF do Apple and Google try sending me down School Street to Somerville Ave. when taking Summer Street to Bow is much more direct?
#bikinginboston #cyclinglife #gpsfail
Even if you want to take the MIT bridge, WTF would anyone zigzag around Hampshire and Vassar when staying on Columbia all the way to Mass. Ave. is way more direct?
#bikinginboston #cyclinglife #gpsfail
GPS fail: Both Apple and Google GPS bike routes are pointlessly indirect, taking me over the MIT bridge. The quickest and safest route down Inman Street through Central Square over the BU bridge is invisible.

Cars are the real danger.

GPS fail: Why did iOS Maps tell me to zigzag on Brighton and Glenville avenues instead of staying on Commonwealth Avenue? #davesbikerides #bikinginboston #cyclinglife #gpsfail #iosmaps
#operationlardbuster and a better bike greatly reduced my knee pain when cycling. #davesbikerides #bikinginboston #cyclinglife #cannondalebike

The future I want for Boston is when we leave to run to errand or head to an event, we no longer have to worry "Some driver may kill me or the person I love on this short trip on my bike" #BikingInBoston
All we want is to #ArriveAlive @wutrain.bsky.social @jfh01.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social
Boston bike boom is absolutely ramping up. I see people biking EVERYWHERE now. Mostly on the sidewalk in some neighborhoods but nonetheless we are OUT RIDING #BikingInBoston #BostonBikeBoom
Union Square delivery with plenty of space in the parking lot

Last night on Brookline Ave. in the Longwood medical area. Probably an installation for the Steve Higgins Museum of Wrong Direction Parking.

Three wheel electric cargo bike loaded with groceries in front of a community garden in full late summer boom with many pink and purple blooms behind a black wrought iron fence
Grocery shopping by bike means you can stop and smell the flowers #BikingInBoston #SouthEnd
Greenbush from Marshfield in 39 minutes, my second fastest time ever. Leave it all on the floor.

People don't bike in Boston because even when you want to bike in Boston, you "can't get there from here"
Dorchester is a no-go zone for me *and I have a Dorchester zip code*!!! #BikingInBoston #BostonBikeNetwork
I got to The Corner Cafe at 2:36pm, well before their 3pm closing time. The journey took 3 hours, 21 minutes (moving time 3 hours, 12 minutes).
