Survey time! Provincetown’s Bicycle Friendly community award is up for renewal & they’d like your feedback on what it’s like to ride a bike here: https://bikept.org/survey2024 #BFC #Provincetown #CapeCod #BikeLeague #Massachusetts #MassBike #bicycle #bike #BikeTooter
2024 Bicycle Friendly Community Public Survey

Tell us about bicycling in your community!

They’d have hit the trifecta of excuses if they’d included “emergency vehicles”. #Boston used o try to wriggle out of installing raised crosswalks for the same “reasons” - now they’re standard. Small towns like #Marblehead (and #Provincetown) just don’t have staff/elected officials who get that these are simple, inexpensive, & effective ways to make streets safer. #SafeStreets #mapoli #publicWorks #trafficCalming #crosswalks #walking #bicycling #MassBike #WalkMass https://urbanists.social/@streetsblogmass/112378753422911740

Local public works officials in Marblehead are blocking street safety projects because it might require their snowplow drivers to pay more attention while they drive: https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/05/03/cant-do-attitudes-block-street-safety-in-marblehead

#Boston Cyclists Union reported on Facebook today:

"We are devastated to learn of the passing of Samuel Alvarado, who was killed after being hit by a garbage truck driver while biking this morning in Allston. The fatal crash happened at the Cambridge and Hano St intersection.

"Our hearts are with Samuel's loved ones.

"This tragic crash highlights two key dangers that people who bike face: unsafe roadways and large trucks. Safety improvements for this area are long overdue - as are safety improvements for large vehicles that are driven on our streets.

Samuel should be alive today. #VisionZero

I missed this earlier: #Massachusetts #bicycle commuter expenses are now eligible for a tax deduction. Thanks #massbike!

(The tax relief bill also makes this benefit eligible to commuters who take buses, ferries and bike share service.)

Today the Massachusetts #EbikeRebate was on my mind. Just sent a letter to [email protected] to this effect:

Ebikes:
1) replace car trips
2) people who test ride an Ebike will often buy one!
3) are accessibility devices
4) far more affordable than car ownership
5) good for the environment
6) can carry cargo & passengers
7) good for business
8) great for health
9) provide community connection & #BikeJoy

Please write one yourself! #MassBike #EbikeRevolution

Thank you #MassBike for the bumper stickers! “Motorists must give 4 feet to pass - it’s the law!” #BikeTooter #Massachusetts #BikeLaw
