I have, for a variety of reasons, solely been using instead of my own bike for a while now. Having hopped on my own bike today ... wow, I am not used to skinny tires anymore.

There's a new stop in ? It's on Church St., so it's quite handy if you're near the front of an outbound Red Line train.

Happy surprise this morning!

Flexpost bollards, as it turns out, are not proper bollards!

I went on the Swift Summer Solstice Overnight with my shop this past weekend, and it was a really fun time. It was great finding out my bike was actually a fairly practical distance rig, and a very fun first group ride for me. My roommate even tagged along on his old three speed Raleigh. It was his first time riding outside of the city, and his very first time camping, and truthfully there couldn't have been a better possible group for him to get this kind of experience with.

We were also joined by truemarmalade.com who's been out touring on an Omnium for the past one-two years, and was the main photographer of the group. All the shots below were snapped by him.

I'm hoping for more bike camping in my future, hopefully getting far enough out I can see the stars again soon!

@misc is the one I've seen the most, but it doesn't get that much use -- so maybe there's a better one out there.

Got one of the new Seat Post Adjusters on my ride this morning. Locking is pulling it down (as shown), unlocking is pulling it up. I've had a few of the old ones where they were tough to get moving, so hopefully the new design helps with accessibility!

Comm Ave isn't even that pleasant, but I can see why Google thinks dodging triple parked cars isn't worth it. Looking forward to the upgrades to Boylston this year

Two things I saw going in to North Station this morning. One is that they are doing landscaping work on the Ink Block path and have heavy equipment on the way, so it'd be best to detour to avoid that today. Second is that there are thin white lines on most of Dot Ave where bike lanes are supposed to be, so I'm hoping/excited that the city restripes those imminently.

Regular posting should resume today!

With the uncertainty with the Twitter API, at this moment everything is isolated between Twitter and Mastodon. Which means automatic retweeting of the Cambridge Crashes account will be only done on the Twitter account and manual retweets/boosts won't cross-post (all assuming Twitter doesn't become unusable for this account).

"no one bikes in the winter"

Note: less than half of people on bikes queueing are shown

Note 2: couldn't even have this many cars queued on this block

One more in last night. Just after I took the 1st photo, 2 bike commuters appeared and had to squeeze between the BMW and the curb.
