It’s his favorite way to get around, and he’s capable of doing it much younger than I thought either kid would be.

Maddie (his mom) and I are very seasoned as pedestrians and cyclists in a city known for its aggressive drivers. But it shouldn’t have to take that.

Happy World Car Free Day! My six-year-old clocked many miles on his own bike this week!

Everyone deserves to have the freedom of movement.

It’s one of the reasons why Dot and I started @ridecargob.bsky.social , but there are so many ways to make a difference!

3 days left to complete CargoB's survey in exchange for a $10 ride credit. We want to hear from you! While a few questions are specific to Boston, we welcome responses from anywhere.

CargoB is conducting a survey of riders (and future riders):

Over the past 15 months since we I launched CargoB, we've grown thanks to the insight and feedback of our riders and supporters. We’d love to hear from you now!

But other parts of the city might prove to be better on the council front.

Unfortunately the early results, at least from the precincts @dotnews.bsky.social has put out, seem to show some neighborhoods voting both overwhelmingly for Wu but still backing conservative at-large candidates (like Frank Baker, who is also just obnoxious politics aside).

Let’s keep the pressure on our local governments to build safer infrastructure so more kids like ours can bike or walk to school!

Hey Boston, you can now grab a CargoB in Brighton!

Pack a picnic for the river or do that next grocery run by bike. Located in the WGBH/Boston Landing parking garage on Guest Street.

As big David Byrne fans, you better believe we were delighted to be featured in @reasonstobecheerful.world !

Reasons to be Cheerful @reasonstobecheerful.world · Jun 5

Imagine a neighborhood where cars have been replaced by zippy e-bikes with cargo space. It’s a big dream — and it starts with bike shares.

UPDATE: Per OCPF, Josh Kraft has received $879,193 in contributions.

3 months in, and only 45 Boston residents have contributed $100 or less. A total of $2,670 out of $879,193 (<1%).

The story tells itself. But instead, let's hear Kraft's continued complaints about an unfinished park. 😡

Spontaneous social run-ins are so much easier when you’re able to get out of your car and back into your community.

Picked up a bonus passenger on the way to school in Roxbury today! Rode by a friend walking and asked if she wanted to hop in. Her dad got an earlier less rushed commute to work; we beat the gridlock traffic and had time to hit the playground before school doors opened.
