@ascentale #BikeNite A1: In contrast to the usual, posting from #Montreal tonight! It’s the last night of #Bostreal - myself and 40 other folks arrived here via bike from Boston on Wednesday night and are packing up to head back via bus tomorrow. Today, we got a tour from some McGill folks and the city’s engineers of some of their bike infrastructure.

@knizer hey if you want a bunch of us are heading there this weekend… by bike… we’ll be getting there Wednesday 😅

But seriously if you like biking and wanna do long distances, check out #Bostreal next year.

Hey #BikeTooter!

This Saturday, myself and almost 40 other wonderful folks are setting off on our 400 mile journey by bike from #Boston to #Montreal. #Bostreal is a fundraiser for the Boston Cyclists Union which funds their ongoing advocacy efforts to build a safe, connected, all-ages and abilities bike network in Boston.

If you are willing and able to contribute, I'm still pretty far from my fundraising goal, and your donations are tax deductable! https://secure.qgiv.com/event/bostreal2024/account/1708966
