We had an enormous turnout last night and can't thank everyone who came out enough.

Overwhelmingly the folks who use Hyde Park Ave want safety improvements! Let's make that a reality!

Next Monday, 6pm at the BTU School there will be a hearing about safety improvements on Hyde Park Ave

We're calling for folks to come early and sign up to testify to ensure we don't have another tragic injury on Hyde Park Ave!

More positive e-bike coverage!!!
For some Boston-area parents, minivans are out. E-bikes are in. - The Boston Globe
With a boost from e-bikes, these parents are "car-light," or even car-free — and loving it.

If you haven't read it yet, this blog from @bikeboston.bsky.social is really essential and does a great job articulating how media coverage around e-bikes is largely missing the mark.

In wake of the 3 recent micro-mobility crashes we want to make our point clear:

We need less people in cars, and safer streets. Fear mongering & calling for bike regulations does neither.

Compelling and important op-ed from the friends and families of Boston and Cambridge's victims of traffic violence

We can do better and should do better.

Our loved ones died biking in Cambridge last year. Boston-area candidates need to follow the facts on bike lanes. - The Boston Globe
Some candidates are displaying a staggering lack of regard for people who cycle, victims of traffic violence, and everyone who cares about safer roads.

BoP-Town is back! 🚴‍♀️🏕️

Join the BCU for a two-day bikepacking trip to P-town on September 6 and 7!

We take the ferry to Hull and then bike about 65 miles to camp, then another 65 miles to Ptown the next day. This is a great introduction to bikepacking for those curious to try it out!

New yard sign. Thanks, @bikeboston.bsky.social!

Now we just need a companion sign that says, “… and mean one fewer car fighting you for on-street parking.”
Sign saying “bike lanes help me arrive alive”

Massachusetts residents! There's a hearing coming up in the Mass Legislature on automated enforcement.

You can testify
1. In person
2. Virtually
3. In writing

Time to make speed and red light cameras legal FINALLY #AutomateSafeStreetsMass @walkmass.bsky.social @mass.streetsblog.org
We’re now asking for your voice again—this time in the State House. On Tuesday, June 3rd at 11:00 AM, the Joint Committee on Transportation will hold a public hearing on automated enforcement, one of our two key legislative priorities. The bills—H.3754 and S.2344—would legalize the use of automated enforcement in Massachusetts. These critical measures are sponsored by Representatives Owens and Cruz and Senator Brownsberger. Image Caption: Representatives Cruz and Owens at the Ride For Your Life Boston Rally on November 17, 2024. Photo Credit: Grace Schlek. How to Submit Testimony In-Person Testimony A sign-in sheet will be made available outside the hearing room (State House Room B-2) approximately 30 minutes before the start of the hearing. You may also email Alex Chilton at (alexander.chilton@masenate.gov) to indicate that you plan to testify in person. Virtual Testimony You may sign up with the following form: Virtual Testimony Form. The deadline for signing up for virtual testimony is one hour before the start of the hearing (Tuesday, June 3rd at 10 AM). Written Testimony You may submit testimony via email attachment to Alex Chilton and Siobhán Morrissey at (Siobhan.Morrissey@mahouse.gov) or you may physically mail testimony to the Senate Chair.
