There comes a point in every boxer shorts life when it simply gives up. You know what I am talking about, what starts as a little hole after a while becomes a giant ass exposing embarrassment. The same thing happens to your old t-shirts, and your old dish cloths, and well most old fabric. No longer will you have to suffer this indignity, because you can give your old rags to Bikes Not Bombs! That’s right, BNB needs some old rags to help with their kids education programs. If you have old rags, cloth that can be made into rags, old t-shirts, boxer shorts, whatever

Today, we’re asking you to contact Governor Patrick directly by phone or email, and ask him to sign the Bicyclist Safety Bill, S. 2573. Tell him that the bill will help get more people bicycling, which will protect the environment, make us healthier, and, perhaps most important during the economic crisis, promote more affordable transportation options.

About the Bicyclist Safety Bill (S. 2573): The key provisions of the bill are: police training on bicycle law; clarification of how to safely pass a bicycle; clarification of how to safely make turns in front of bicycles; “dooring” subject to ticket and fine; riding two abreast permitted when it does not impede cars from passing; improved enforcement of bicycle law for both motorists and bicyclists; and additional legal protections for bicyclists who choose to ride to the right of other traffic. The full text of the bill can be found here. For more details about the bill, including links to the affected statutes, see our previous Action Alert.
