Good Job Boston!

I think its time we put Boston into the same category as those famous cycling towns that pedal through any type of weather nature can throw at us (I am thinking Montreal, Northern Europe, Minneapolis, etc). I think last years mild winter showed a lot of seasonal riders that with just a little preparation they can ride all year, and I have been seeing the signs of a growing all weather ridership.

If you have been thinking about riding all year, you will be in good company.

Way to go Boston!
