What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little fixie bitch? I’ll have you know I have a top of the range carbon Cervelo, and I’ve raced numerous crits, and I have over 300 confirmed KOMs on strava. I am trained in bicycle maintenance and I’m the top mechanic in the country. You are nothing to me but just another commuter. I will wipe you the fuck out on any climb, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Feather dealerships across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I could drop you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with one foot clipped in. Not only am I a pro tour winner, but I have access to the entire arsenal of aero bars, stems, forks, you name it, and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of this subreddit, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will fart a wet one as I am dropping you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

NACTO's mandate is city-friendly street design, so you'd have to look elsewhere if you're looking for off-street transit design guides.

Boloco is great, but it does seem like they're closing a lot of their locations. Hopefully they can retrench and keep their core spots going.

Hopefully. I rode past recently and don't remember seeing anything signaling that construction was underway. It's going to have to be pretty aggressive to meet the Summer '16 date.

I think the worst pinch point for separated bike lanes on Mass Ave is going to be at Huntington where the Symphony station headhouses are right there alongside the travel lanes. A travel or turn lane will have to go, because I can't imagine that moving the headhouses would be anything less than a multi-million dollar project. Mass Ave is supposed to be one of Boston's Vision Zero priority corridors and I'm really looking forwards to seeing something fast happen there.

I used it a few weeks ago, walked over during the middle of the final inning and got my bike back in seconds. It's just a secured area with an attendant watching the bikes, so no waiting while someone runs halfway across the city to retrieve your vehicle. Great service!

The print/ebook edition looks like it has a little more content versus the website from what I can tell on Amazon.

I really like NACTO's online format for this, their bike guide and their general urban street guide. Super easy to use and it turns up in google searches.

Previously parking was only allowed on Tremont Street at night, so this is new parking. We should be thankful they are at least charging for it, but bus or bike lanes would have been a better use for the street space.

Don't worry, in a year where seven people have already been killed while walking, Boston is kicking off the construction season by expanding parking options downtown: https://twitter.com/rightlegpegged/status/725087471906738176

Cambridge's planners and engineers recognize that leading bicycle intervals improve safety and decrease frustration, and so they set up newly redone intersections to encourage it. But if someone trained on one of these intersections tries the same maneuver elsewhere in Cambridge, the police ticket them. Someone needs to sit the cops down for an interdepartmental meeting.

This really reminds me of Krakauer's expose of the Three Cups of Tea debacle, which also disappointed a lot of donors to Afghanistan causes.

The NYT's title was something like "Corruption in Afghanistan All But Cripples Women's Team", I adapted it to focus on the cycling element and added a key quote from one of the athletes who fled to the west. I suppose that the NYT later changed the headline after complaints, which is fair.

It's more of a walk, but the hospital surface lot surrounded by the Storrow ramps is dirt cheap for reverse commuter deals.

Seven people walking have been killed by drivers in Boston this year, this girl was the second child killed. At least two more have been killed in Cambridge, plus the two people inside a restaurant in Newton.
