Wheelworks and Landrys both sell e-bikes with the Enviolo hub

Should have worn hi viz and a helmet!

This is the dumbest idea I’ve heard in a while. “This program will only work of residents (do their part without any meaningful penalty for not doing it). Yeah that’s not how humans operate.

Am I the only one questioning why they have to advertise it to pedestrians?

Sure, we should subsidize transit more and it should be better. But in this case you can’t say “I wish I could use transit if only something like the EZ Ride existed” when in fact it does exist and you’re still driving.

There is a bus called EZ Ride that goes from North Station to Kendall and Cambridgeport. If you don’t get it paid by your employer it’s only $1.

Tangent but the blue line changes to overhead wires at Airport.

Wires are at least 15 feet high

It’s not as if anyone pays attention to the speed limit sign, so why spend money on a brand new one?

Stay away from the orange and green lines. They’re closed downtown and the open sections are running very infrequently.

Looks like you got the wrong year

It’s going to be a train station! (I wish)

Elected officials need to hear these stories as well. Maybe one day we can get enough momentum for traffic enforcement.

Maybe a police visit would put a little fear into him, but I suspect they know him and wouldn’t do anything.

Has there ever been a case where spitting on someone convinces them to come inside your house and learn about jesus?

Independent professionally run services is one of the arguments in favor of our city manager system.

Unfortunately the article does not mention rent control and the fact that we’re a small part of a large region that mostly refuses to do anything meaningful on housing. Private landlords are mostly scum and need to be driven out of business with massive investment in social housing.

The idea of social housing is that if you have enough of it and it’s high quality, private landlords will have to compete. There is no modification or wealth generation happening when you’re struggling to stay afloat. If you can afford to buy a condo you’re still free to do that, but if not, at least you’d have a safe and functional place to live. I would support a policy of near universal public housing, just as I advocate for a single-payer universal healthcare system and for the same reasons. You could always buy your own house but for most people it wouldn’t be worth the extra cost. If you are against public housing, you support homelessness and destitution, plain and simple.

Sounds like you got some help which is great to see, but if you ever need a bike check out the Somerville Bike Kitchen or Bikes Not Bombs and they’ll hook you up as long as you’re willing to do your own work (with free parts and tools). Parking may be an issue so you can also contact BlueBikes and they can help you with a free/cheap membership (it may require a credit card).

EV don’t solve most of the problems of cars such as noise, injuries and death, particulate matter from brakes and tires, waste of space for parking, etc. At a society level, the only practical vehicles are transit and bikes.

I answered this question a while ago so maybe you can search for it. They’re all the exact same coverage but your network will either be focused on one of the clinics or a little bigger like with the MCO plans (for example the Tufts Heath Together that’s not partnered with a specific clinic). Pick a clinic or hospital network and choose based on that. If you’re new, you’ll want a clinic like MGB, Mt Auburn or Atrius that can assign you a PCP and easily refer you for whatever specialists or labs you need, usually on site. Once you have a PCP in the building, you can usually get in for primary care the same/next day or a specialist in 2-3 weeks. If you don’t, it could take weeks or months for an opening. Don’t wait until you need to be seen to establish yourself as a patient. Choose a clinic by location, online reviews and the wait time for appointments. Stay away from CHA.

Has the owner started blaming bike lanes yet? EDIT: That seems to be a common thing for business owners to do, even without any evidence. Not a comment on this particular business because I know nothing about them.

Someone living in a tent could probably use them. I always feel weird about approaching homeless camps to offer things but I usually find very grateful recipients.

Lol clearly you have never talked to cops

Here’s an idea. When you see someone biking the wrong way, don’t yell at them. Just move over and coexist peacefully. Spend your mental energy thinking about why they might do that, such as avoiding a more dangerous legal way, not having to cross twice, missing the light, only going one block, being lost, etc. You might find you have empathy and compassion.

Wasn’t this the sub that banned people for saying good things about bikes?
