My 6 year-old loves riding their bike to school in Roxbury (a neighborhood that has not seen the safe infrastructure improvements that others have). This is a video of their ride from JP to downtown on February 28th, following a month of snow storms. (thoughts continue in thread)

Hey Somerville! You can now rent an CargoB right on the Somerville Community Path. Located under the Lowell St overpass & the Magoun Square MBTA station, we’re making it easier to take your kids downtown, your dog to the park, or your groceries home all on two wheels in the fresh air.

Today marks 17 years clean from drugs. Fun fact, that means I’ve now been in recovery for exactly half of my life. A life that nearly got cut very short as it has for many others. My community continues to lift me up when life is challenging and grounds me in gratitude which is where I like to be.

As we transition beyond our scrappy little team to further implement our expansion with the T and other major partners, these end-of-year fundraisers help us bridge the gap and keep CargoB running through the winter while we work to secure our first seed funds. We'd be nowhere without our community!

Picked up a bonus passenger on the way to school in Roxbury today! Rode by a friend walking and asked if she wanted to hop in. Her dad got an earlier less rushed commute to work; we beat the gridlock traffic and had time to hit the playground before school doors opened.
