Rush Hour Race

Written by Boston Biker on Apr 25

From Livable Streets, looks like a great time!  They did this last year and the bicyclist housed the competition (and yes he followed all the rules, even had a helmet cam to prove it).  If you actually “bent” the rules, a cyclist would CRUSH any competition during rush hour.  There is simply no faster way to get around this city.
