Mayor Menino started building bike lanes in Boston because we were ranked dead last in some report for bikeable cities. He took that personally, thinking "Boston is the best city, how dare someone call us the worst. I will make us the best" "The car is no longer king in Boston" is a literal […]

#BikeTooter I'm struggling to find a good image of the risk of locking your bike to a signpost, anyone able to point me to one? Specifically signposts that bolt to a stub in the ground, allowing for anyone with a wrench to unbolt the post and slide it through the lock. I think ideally a gif or […]

Anyone want to #OSM map bike parking in #Boston? Each of these dots is bike parking in OSM and I just don't believe that Boston is really THAT sparse south of the Pike I'd be happy to teach you how with apps like @everydoor and @streetcomplete

The Camberville Landway map is inspired by the design of subway maps, showing common major routes to travel across town via bike (or other personal mobility device). This is the vision of a network that, when built, will make Camberville as good to bike in as Paris and Amsterdam.
