"Over the past year, the E-bike Lending Library has loaned bikes more than 500 times, with borrowers traveling more than 16000 miles since the program began. [this year, borrowers who later purchased] will travel more than 328,000 miles on e-bikes.".

feel free to reference these photos or this thread anytime someone says "those bike lanes must work great in winter".

A bicycle commute in December; a city-run group ride in March; and the bicycle parking room at work in November and March.

This is the bike parking at a local bar in Somerville (Aeronaut) when I arrived for an evening in February; and bike parking at a local elementary school in February, a bicycle commute home in January, and for bonus measure, a bicycle commute to work in New York City in December.

This is a video clip of my normal morning bike commute in February. The clip features approximately 16 cyclists using the cycletrack through Inman Square to commute along Beacon / Hampshire Streets in Cambridge and Somerville.

Here are four pictures taken of bike lanes in Cambridge, Somerville and Boston in the month of February.

If you're in the Somerville area and missing your white mid-step RadMission, it may have been parked at 64 Derby Street. Folks in the comments have asked the OP to check bikeindex. (Puprle lock, front fender, no rear, the rad-sold GUB cell phone mount.).

@ABetterCambMA @cambbikesafety There's lots of people you shouldn't vote for. The Anti-Change Crew did a really good job of recruiting candidates, and are attempting to basically turn back the clock on city progress. This is incredibly important. Tell your friends what is at risk. Get them to vote.

Thanks to @familybikerides for another great event today: more than 250 bikes joined for bike to bike trick or treating and a ride from Magnolia Park in Arlington to Joey's Park in Belmont. Huge thumbs up to @SomervilleSnow for everything he does to make these events a success.

A few more:. bsky-social-neeho-sr4vm.bsky-social-ofrgc-ak5gg.bsky-social-jvdhl-7mvrz.bsky-social-rxk3c-cao6l.

Another code, now that that one's used up. (If you use this one, let me know.). bsky-social-ma52y-j45gj.

Also, if your account is public, don't bother just publicly posting a bsky code, it seems. all 5 of the ones i just posted were instantly snapped up by accounts that look almost certain to be spambots.

Here are two invite codes for Bluesky. bsky-social-dy7vx-4rjmo.bsky-social-qqlsd-yobzm. I am much happier on Mastodon than on Bluesky (especially for #mapoli), but I'm happier on either than on Twitter.

(I do still occasionally reply to things on Twitter; I tend to check in every now and again, and mostly continue to be happy with my choice to be elsewhere. But sometimes I find that there are conversations going on here that I wish could be happening on Any Other Service.).
