The other day I was biking to work when this happened: I wouldn’t think anything of it if it happened once. But I’ve noticed my attire seems to prompt certain responses in other road users. How do I know it’s not just an off day? Because I have the ability to change clothes. Some days I’m this cyclist: […]

Recently I found myself in this situation: And I wished I could show this dude what would happen if I really did own the road. Things would be very different. I wouldn’t have to take the lane ever again. People would have their roads back, and they’d be safer because… Bad behavior wouldn’t be tolerated. And parking […]

The other day I vented to an acquaintance about an issue that’s frustrated me this winter. However, this led to several more issues for me to be frustrated about. For a moment I actually felt bad for picking this battle. But I knew this person. And if she were me, it would go like this. […]

Recently there was a report how to sell people on biking. Turns out that even though safety is a real concern, dwelling on safety messages kind of turns people off. Is this really that surprising? Any salesperson would understand why. (That’s why fine print was invented.) So this got me thinking about advertising bicycling. What kind […]

Sometimes when you’re on a bike, you need to make some noise. And I don’t mean a bicycle bell. Watching others, it seems yelling works best.

Something is a little different this winter in Boston. If you pay attention to the roads you will notice something: there’s more than one bike. Actually, there’s lots of them. Apparently even people who ride bikes are surprised by this.
