Just ran a quick errand by car over to JP and it's astonishing how the city is just all gridlock at 2PM on Friday, and how utterly miserable and dysfunctional it is

What an unpleasant way to live

The thing I love about being a street safety advocate is choosing a planning meeting over a bike ride. That's some delayed gratification mojo

On the plus side I got to ride to the meeting. And so did everyone else!

I rode the T today and it was flawless. Buses, trains (OL), good timing, very nice experience

And now my LA friend I was showing around town wants to move here. Ok then!

I just wish we had more bike lanes in places where there are so many bikers. It would have been way quicker to bike but no way would I ever let a person who isn't a regular/experienced urban biker get on a bike in Boston

I went for a bike ride and it was cold and windy and I came home in the best mood. Curses, foiled again!

Saw a dude performing a scary ride on Seaver St (don't ever do this, kids)

Also this massive (looks brand new) SUV with a cow catcher as part of the Boston Park Rangers and... don't they fucking make Cushmen any more? Why the fuck are my tax dollars paying to endanger my life and light the planet on fire?

Massive SUV enforcing nothing

Crying babies on crowded trains? Never heard it. Do babies just not like planes?

I don't think I've ever heard an American mayor say "cars and trucks in cities are dangerous and bad for our air and for the planet and we need far less of them".

Looks like a fresh parking protected bike lane on A Street in Fort Point to me. Compare to the bad unprotected version in the door zone #ThisIsAGoodBikeLane #BikingInBoston #BikeBOS #BOSBike #Boston @jfh @universalhub

The parking protection ends in this direction
Prior shot from Google Maps and a big pickup truck has the door open in the bike lane to illustrate how unsafe it is

Big discouragement on today's special election

Should I vote for:

• incumbent who violated ethics rules by hiring 2 family members and throwing money at them in big raises & bonuses?
• anti choice candidate?
• far right anti gay eliminationist?
• anti vaxxer?
• guy with no positions endorsed by the Herald?

I would like better choices please. I want none of the above

And for the record, I don't think calling yourself a "progressive" is enough. You should actually follow the law & be ethical!

Went to the 'burbs today and ended up on a trail, just walking but might come back with a bike. Also found some great trails in the woods. Especially if you like poison ivy! Been out of town so it was nice to reaclimate to Boston by not being in Boston

Boston sidewalks, lol #JamaicaPlain

Glad we have parking on both sides of the street though. Priorities!

Got gas tonight and a guy in a massive pickup truck decided to keep it running as he pumped gas. I mentioned that his truck was running and he was like "I know"

Fellas, is it gay to turn off your engine when you fuel it?

I don't know why I didn't put this kind of bars on every bike we own. I will never ride anything else.
