Here’s a map that shows the area where the Provincetown Select Board is proposing to ban people from riding bikes but allow people
to drive cars. It encompasses Commercial St through the center of town from the library all the way to the Canteen restaurant. You can read our statement about the proposal and our suggestions for ways to improve safety on the street: https://bikescape.org/pedal-blog/dont-ban-bikes #Provincetown #CapeCod #SafeStreets #traffic #mapoli #bicycle #cycling #BikeTooter

@jon I looked into the cost of those when they were originally offered with built-in charging plugs for e-bikes. Those cost $10k for five stands. For the same cost, you could buy 100 Sheffield stands for 200 bikes.

And the last question (hope it's okay that this ended up being a Q8, @trouble)

Q8. What's the most recent thing you bought/added to your bike? Or clothing, or any cycling related thing. Anything new or fun?

@ascentale @trouble A8. I bought a new motor kit for my Cetma Cargo! It arrives on Monday. I gave up troubleshooting the old one and am just replacing the whole thing. At least now I’ll have some spare parts :)

@Andres4NY @ascentale @trouble I went with a new Tongsheng kit from Electrify Bike (I prefer the torque sensor over the Bagang cadence sensor for hauling cargo). The cost was more than ordering all the parts from AliExpress but I’ll get support from a US company that is active in developing the open source software and actually responds to email questions.

They are also working on improving safety - they use XT90 power connectors and build their batteries with name-brand cells. I’m realistically hoping to get a couple of years of use from this kit before it dies. https://www.electrifybike.com/products/tsdz2b-osf-upgrade-motor-kit-250-750w (2/2)

@streetsblogmass @gbhnews Any way to register to join via Zoom? MassDOT said that tolling or pricing for the new Cape Cod bridges isn’t in the scope of the project, so it’s just bigger, wider, more lanes, more traffic traveling at highway speeds that ends up on local streets that can’t handle it. This isn’t just a Boston problem. Is there a way to fund and build transit & infrastructure so there are options beyond driving everywhere?
