So far today I have shared stories about:

A kid killed by a school bus

A pickup truck driver who hit a little kid tying his shoes

A driver who went onto a *rail trail* and hit 2 kids and their grandmother

Anyone who cares about kids should fight like hell to prevent traffic violence

Why don’t we simply just ban all the cars if people aren’t able to drive and park responsibly?
While this is an infuriating amount of parked cars, it really just takes one to ruin an entire painted bike lane.

If the Mayor is serious about using concrete to separate these lanes, it can't happen soon enough!
Today getting from Rozzie to Dorchester 🚲. Am. Lgn. Hwy had flex posts before resurfacing. Was resurfaced months ago. I understand the plan for better materials, but this puts people at risk who think they’re on a protected route. @streets.boston.gov @wutrain.bsky.social @mass.streetsblog.org

Just as a reminder: per Massachusetts general law, cyclists have no obligation to make use of cycling infrastructure when it is present and have the right to take the full primary lane of travel if that is the safest option (at the cyclist’s discretion).

Last year, I laid down the line - it was time to annex Boston and form MegaCambridge.

This year the official conversation begins. I've filed a resolution with City Hall to start proceedings.

Central is already onboard! Posters are going up. You won't miss them.

I again want to point out that POR 2025 #46 could have been an email rather than policy order. #cambridge

I apologize for using the phrase “happy ending” during tonight’s city council meeting. I did not mean to turn the conversation again to my recent legal adventure.

We’ll discuss POR 2025 #46 at the March 31st city council meeting, which directs “the Human Services and Veterans Committee hold a meeting to discuss sex work and sex trafficking.” And if you’ll believe it, I have thoughts.

As someone who started mixing in long pre-work bike rides as exercise into my daily routine, I have routinely said "The worst thing about all those assholes who say exercise is good for you is that they're fucking right."
I won a free month of yoga at a local yoga studio, and I went to my first class this morning and I didn’t even particularly enjoy the class but my body feels so much better and I cannot tell you how angry this makes me

Spring is a great time to start riding a bike for transportation.

You have the whole summer to realize it's awesome and get so attached to the fun and mobility that you're ready to keep riding even when winter rolls around again!

Should I go on Tucker Carlson to rehab my image? It didn’t work for SBF, but it might here? #cambridge

Are bike lanes not purpose built for human trafficking? #cambridge #mapoli

I ask that you respect the privacy of me and my family, and instead focus on the bike lanes that are ruining Cambridge
