Me: Can I leave my suitcase-size folding Brompton in the corner of the unused 600 sq ft of your store while I wait for my appointment? Medford strip mall stores (MSMS): No that’s against our policy Drivers: Can you put down thousands of square feet of asphalt for my living room-size SUV MSMS: 😊

Happy Birthday to @ternbicycles.com! I also had a birthday this week, and my one wish is for Landry’s Bicycles in Boston to sell Tern. We’re ready and the family riders of Boston are ABSOLUTELY ready. Dale Aguas you know where to find me 😜

If you park in a bike lane, you are impeding emergency vehicles.

It’s 37 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I left my groceries locked in my cargo bike. I was too lazy to bring them up right away. I’m literally doing that meme where people store their fridge on public property instead of a car

Just saw the new @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social P-Line, and it’s impressive. The Pacific lacquer in combination with their brazing is stunning. Hardware substantially improved from the T-line. Stem from the G-Line. All around lots of innovative improvements. And it fits in a cargo bike of course!

Cargo bike manufacturers, here’s what I want. A front loading box that… - Is aluminum - Closes shut and is 100% waterproof - Locks - Provides comfortable seating for a small adult - Can be removed easily with only one tool

I rode the Black Iron Horse cargo bike (trike) when I was in Zurich. WHY AREN’T THESE AVAILABLE IN THE US?! The ride is so smooth and you can whip this thing at speed.

@ridebluebikes.bsky.social Serious question. When are you going to change the way e-bike rides are priced? Right now you are giving people an incentive to ride unnecessarily fast to avoid extra costs. By implementing a per mile or hybrid model of pricing, I imagine this would change behavior. ✌️

I NEED MY CAR IN THE CITY! Really? Is that why most of you haven’t moved them in three days after a light dusting? What’s really sad is the only vehicles with tickets are the contractors trucks actually being used.

This is your sign to steal your parents’ credit card and buy them a used cargo bike for the holidays. Accessories are on their way too

Capturing families is a crucial part of a biking society. CPP is leading the charge in the Boston area. Every dollar we raise goes towards getting more butts on bikes, especially cargo bikes!

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

My favorite moment on the Critical Mass ride this evening was when a hundred plus cyclists yoinked our selves and our bikes out of the way to let an ambulance through. Let’s see that cars do that.

For what it’s worth, I’ve have found success in one instance. I was changing a tire on my bicycle, right next to someone idling. I tapped their window and said “I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m changing my tire and breathing in the fumes from your car. Could you please turn it off?” And they did.
