Got this in the email a couple days ago, anyone who wants to do the great Hub On Wheels Ride and form a Public Media team should read below.
Hi there,
If you’d like to help to spread the word, an idea came to me of an
opportunity to gather public media fans, piggy-backing on Hub on Wheels.
I looked for a team to join but discovered that they’re either names like
“Kate’s Team” or teams that represent businesses, schools, or clubs. So, I
created this team:
Public Media Fans Unite
I’ve reached out to WGBH, WBUR, PRX and local producers so far to use our
collective networks to invite folks to be part of this this team. It would
be an invite of “If you’re planning to ride and want to be part of a team
of public media fans, look for —.” because riders have to cough up a
registration fee. It’s a group that means something to the riders besides
“we’re biking advertisements for (insert entity name).”
For riders that have already registered and want to switch to this team,
please contact: nathaniel.brooks.bra (at) cityofboston.gov
with their full name, and Nathaniel will switch the team alignment.
Again, I gain nothing from this, not expecting donations, only to maybe
ride with neat people who are also into public media.

Got this fun video in my email last week. Looks like there are a lot of really nice places to ride your bike in this city. Not that we all didn’t already know that.
MORE THAN 126,000 MILES… WE’LL CALL THAT SPRING TRAINING.
Dear Friends,
Bay State Bike Week was amazing, but that was only the beginning. With summer weather finally here and gas prices nearing $4 a gallon, it’s a perfect time to “kick gas” and start taking more trips by bike. And what better way to motivate than by looking forward to Hub On Wheels? Heck, sign up by June 1st and we’ll take $10 off the registration fee—just enter discount code ‘MOTIVATE.’ Sign up now.
If you rode last year, you already know Hub On Wheels is a one of a kind event. It’s your chance to ride a car-free Storrow Drive and a unique way to explore the greenways, the shoreline, and the neighborhoods we all call home.
Riders choose their own route: 10, 30, or 50 miles—there’s something for everyone.
No bike? No problem. Urban AdvenTours is providing discounted rentals. Reserve now and we’ll have one waiting for you September 21st.
All proceeds from the ride go to the Technology Goes Home program, providing critical computer training for families in the Boston Public Schools.
We’ll sweeten the deal even more.
