Buca Boot: Local Entrepreneur Creates Fashionable Secure Storage
Written by Boston Biker on Oct 09From Kickstarter:
Looks pretty cool, and they are pretty close to their goal. I am digging this movement towards fashionable, city bike based, transportation oriented cycling. I am thinking in a couple years we will start seeing cargo bikes, city bikes, parents with kids on bikes, and a lot more diverse population of folks riding to work. To the future!
Check them out if you see something you like.

Ghost Bike Project
Written by Boston Biker on Oct 03Sadly relevant considering the recent deaths in this town. From the email. You can contact her at [email protected]
—————-
My name is Genea Barnes, and I am doing a photo project on ghost bikes. If you are not familiar with them, they are memorial bikes painted all white and locked to something near an intersection where a bicyclist was killed. I will be traveling through the area in October, but was wondering if you knew of any ghost bikes that have been installed in the area, and that are still there. Or perhaps you might be able to put me in contact with someone who might know. Here is more about my project:

The Green Juice Bike…Coming Soon? I Guess That’s Up To You.
Written by Boston Biker on May 22Kickstarter has all manner of interesting projects on it. Here is one that local boston bikers/health food enthusiasts might like.
Green Force Juices will be a pedal powered mobile juice bar practicing sustainable methods of offering healthy drinks to the Boston area. Green Force Juices will live by the idea of ‘mobile nature’, visiting schools, office buildings, and local parks. Green Force Juice Bar will be a “zero-waste” operation. Everything that is produced by Green Force Juices will be collected on board and then brought to Metro Pedal Power’s compost and recycling center. Green Force Juices does not green wash and use terms that is does not stand for. It’s mobility, compostability, sustainability and drinkability are just some of it’s values. It’s more then just being organic, local and fair trade. There is no waste in nature and there is no waste on board. Green as in the true color of wheatgrass and force as in the life force and high frequency of living plant based superfoods.
Lets jump start the Juice revolution together!
if you want to get in on the ground floor as it were, head over to kickstarter and throw the projects some of your hard earned money.
