Bike Friday A Great Success!
Written by Boston Biker on Jul 28
In another world far far away from the internet (the “real” world), I played a small part in helping to organize Boston’s first Bike Friday. It was a smashing success, with hundreds of people showing up to city hall (which I might add is completely deserted at 5am when you are trying to put a tent up). It was wonderful to see so many people riding in from all over town (see map below). The goal of this event was to show people just how easy it is to ride your bike to work. Hopefully this kind of thing can grow and spread and we can be doing our own little bike Fridays all over the city, all year round, every Friday!
Here is a bit of video one participant made (from the excellent VeloFellow blog)
If this looks like it would be fun, be sure to check out the next one in August 22 (for this and other events take a look at the event calendar over there on the right) . For more info see the Boston City website for Bike Fridays here. Also be sure to check out the nice picture gallery that Boston.com put on here.

an awesome success, unless you happen to leave north of the city. In that case, no love at all…

You could always just form your own convoy and ride into downtown, no one would keep you from the snacks
