Capturing families is a crucial part of a biking society. CPP is leading the charge in the Boston area. Every dollar we raise goes towards getting more butts on bikes, especially cargo bikes!
Celebrating two years of the E-Bike Lending Library!
In the past two years, the E-Bike Lending Library has grown from 4 bikes in a backyard to 40 bikes serving hundreds of riders across Greater Boston. We've completed more than 1000 loans... and we have an ambitious plan to complete even more. 🧵

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Every bike should have a name! Help the E-Bike Lending Library name our fleet 😊
Name our bikes!
The E-Bike Library fleet has grown from ~10 bikes to 30 over the past year, so it's time to make our bikes a little more friendly and give them names, and we want your help!
Just make a $25 donation, and then name any bike you want :) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

My favorite moment on the Critical Mass ride this evening was when a hundred plus cyclists yoinked our selves and our bikes out of the way to let an ambulance through.
Let’s see that cars do that.

I NEED MY CAR IN THE CITY! Really? Is that why most of you haven’t moved them in three days after a light dusting?
What’s really sad is the only vehicles with tickets are the contractors trucks actually being used.

Today I was approached by two ministers on campus who wanted to talk about our lord and savior Jesus Christ. I proceeded to talk to them about e-bikes for 10 minutes. Photo of me “praying” they find their way to an e-bike
