Stuck In The Snow
Written by Boston Biker on Dec 27I have pushed my bike through all sorts of weather….but guess what doesn’t go when it snows and blows? Air planes, my least favorite form of transportation. I am stuck in the great white north, and will return Jan 1st. In the mean time I declare this post an open comment thread!
Post any snow related items in the comments.
How are you dealing with the snow? Anyone have any fun snow ride related stories? Any blizzard heroics performed on bike? Street conditions? Path conditions? Questions about riding in the snow?
And don’t forget I am still offering prizes to people who send in pictures of them bundled up to go for a ride in the snow (now would be a perfect time to snap a shot with you, your bike, and some epic snow!)

Open Thread-I Have Become Pothole, Destroy Of Worlds.
Written by Boston Biker on Feb 02Let me know where the killer pot holes are. Post the closest location you can, almost took a header into one today might be good to spread the word.
I will start:
Watch out for a killer on the Mass Ave bridge heading into Cambridge, also school street in Somerville (going up hill towards Somerville Ave).
Tremont street in front of the commons will often buckle up into waves, which are worse than potholes in some ways, so will Mass Ave in Central square.
You have been warned, not you do the warning.
