Unlike with a car, if it’s really really crowded on the street because of oh I don’t know a famous band playing porchfest or something, you can always just lift your bike over your head while you navigate the crowd

Saw this at Mt Auburn cemetery today and I’m baffled and in awe

Pro-bike-lane poster on Nextdoor: I saw a kid biking to school that’s why we need safe bike infrastructure

Nextdoor NIMBYs reply: If you loved your kids you wouldn’t let them bike

Went on a 20 mile bike ride today. 5 miles from home to North Station, and 15 then from the Salem commuter rail station, along the Marblehead rail trail and over to the lighthouse, then grabbed lunch and biked down to pick the commuter rail up in Swampscott. This is quite a lot more than I usually do, so we took the commuter rail back from North Station to Porter since we made it before outbound rushhour. Whew. Tired!

The ticket taker on the commuter rail said they were getting a lot more people taking the line since the temporary reduced fares went into effect

@LilahTovMoon Yes! Some but not all cars have them - they fold up so they aren't always obvious, and we've seen them on both single deckers and the platform level parts of the double deckers, but they didn't have them on either the return trip from Swampscott or the train from North Station to Porter.

Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) are good, and places should do them...

But exclusive ped phases (widely found here in Eastern MA, rare elsewhere AFAIK) are true all-ages signal ops.

Why don't we talk more about them?

@bikepedantic 💯 My kid was able to start walking to school on her own at 10, despite crossing Mass Ave, but we only were comfortable with that because it was an exclusive ped phase.

Tonight is the Cambridge dance party! Runs til 10! Has a bike valet!

People walking down the center of Mass Ave in central in the direction of Harvard Square with a crowd a little further down

Harvard graduation is tomorrow, fyi. I had forgotten, but traffic going into Harvard is already terrible this morning so I looked it up. It was fine on foot or bike but I will still definitely avoid the area tomorrow
