Bike Cage Improvement At South Station

Written by Boston Biker on Sep 25

Got this in the email, and I visited the other day to confirm that yes they have improved these cages an awful lot since they were installed.

I was by South Station today and noticed they have finally made improvements to the bike cage that was installed last year I think (maybe earlier) to bring it up to a true secure cage. There are new cameras and a secure door is installed though the sign says it wont be fully working until October when you will need a bike charlie card.

Thanks John for the tip

New Bike Lanes Near South Station

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 07

Got this word in the email, thanks Kevin!

I thought you’d like to know that the city added some new bike lanes on the side of South Station on Atlantic Ave. These bike lanes showed up earlier this week, and so far they’ve been a really big help in my morning commute. Usually the cars waiting at the light to cross Summer St are just formed into a big cluster-F, but now there’s a little path for bikers to safely move to the front.

Anyone got pictures? Anyone rode these yet? Hit me up in the comments. I used to ride this area fairly regularly, and wonder if these have been prompted by the popularity of the hubway bike share program in the area…we can only hope.
