Yesterday members of our community mourned the lives lost to traffic violence. We grieved, but we also joined in commiting ourselves to a world where nobody has to die on our streets. We do not accept the status quo.

Celebrating two years of the E-Bike Lending Library!

In the past two years, the E-Bike Lending Library has grown from 4 bikes in a backyard to 40 bikes serving hundreds of riders across Greater Boston. We've completed more than 1000 loans... and we have an ambitious plan to complete even more. 🧵

Please join our e-bike librarians in celebrating 1,000 tracked* loans!!! This a a monster milestone. We couldn’t have gotten here without our volunteers and the small dollar donations from our community.

Now, it’s on to 2,000

We’re prepping Aventon Abound LR/SR Lock Blocks tonight.

What the heck is that?? Only the greatest locking solution ever developed for cargo bikes. Throw your questions in the comments.

We share a lot of the same bikes with the Mpls Cargo Bike Library (Bunch, Abound, etc). This just shows that the configuration of cargo bikes is highly adaptable. They can be tailored for kid hauling (our speciality), or for everyday errands.

Are you looking for high quality stickers? We love ours from @vinyldisorder.bsky.social

They’re thick, flexible, and durable. They mold around corners/bumps with ease

How do you like us now?!

Big thanks to the folks over at @ridecargob.bsky.social for helping us wrap our Urban Arrow

Well done! 24,000+ miles is really impressive
I've had my Tern GSD S10 for SIX years today. 🎂 Celebrated by running errands. 😜 In 24,105km, I've carried many many different passengers, so many loads of groceries, & random awkward stuff like today's mostly full keg of beer.
