City Releases Urban Cycling Guide
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 25This thing has it all, a quiz, video’s, and a chance to get free/low cost gear! You will also notice that the city “borrowed” some of the images for my website for the quiz (see here and here). I ain’t even mad!
I passed the quiz with a perfect score. It wasn’t hard, and pretty obvious what the right answer was. It is rather “finger wagging” at cyclists. But then again its a quiz for cyclists. I it trying to address the behavior of a specific user class. It’s not helpful to tell car drivers what to do on a cyclist behavior quiz.
It would be AMAZING if the city did a “urban drivers guide” and an “urban walkers guide” in the same style. PLEASE CAN WE GET THIS CITY OF BOSTON, PLEASE!
