Your Bad Driving Is The Reason Why Traffic Is So Bad
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 04The main reason we have too much traffic, is because we have too many people driving cars…but it also has a lot to to do with the fact that people are horrible at driving.
Want a simple way to make your life a lot better? Stop driving your car to work!
Also, don’t blame cyclists we are speeding you up, not slowing you down.
Besides all the mental anguish people suffer from driving cars, there is the very real and very serious threat of climate change. It’s long past time when you could just close your eyes and do nothing, make your life better, make everyone’s life better, ride a bike!

Noah Hicks, Bicycle Mayor Of Dorchester!
Written by Boston Biker on Apr 01This guy is making things happen in Dorchester, seems like an awesome guy! I used to live in the very very (very) southern point of Dorchester, and while its gotten better for cycling down there, its not nearly as good as it needs to be.
More great info on Noah and his message here. He is really talking about the real issues behind cycling, as a transit option, and as a life changing technology for low income folks. I hope the city will pivot to focusing on the neighborhoods that most need these kinds of infrastructure improvements and where they will do the most good economically.
Bravo sir!
