Happy World Car Free Day! My six-year-old clocked many miles on his own bike this week!

Everyone deserves to have the freedom of movement.

It’s one of the reasons why Dot and I started @ridecargob.bsky.social , but there are so many ways to make a difference!

Let’s keep the pressure on our local governments to build safer infrastructure so more kids like ours can bike or walk to school!

Hey Boston, you can now grab a CargoB in Brighton!

Pack a picnic for the river or do that next grocery run by bike. Located in the WGBH/Boston Landing parking garage on Guest Street.

As big David Byrne fans, you better believe we were delighted to be featured in @reasonstobecheerful.world !
Imagine a neighborhood where cars have been replaced by zippy e-bikes with cargo space. It’s a big dream — and it starts with bike shares.

UPDATE: Per OCPF, Josh Kraft has received $879,193 in contributions.

3 months in, and only 45 Boston residents have contributed $100 or less. A total of $2,670 out of $879,193 (<1%).

The story tells itself. But instead, let's hear Kraft's continued complaints about an unfinished park. 😡

Picked up a bonus passenger on the way to school in Roxbury today! Rode by a friend walking and asked if she wanted to hop in. Her dad got an earlier less rushed commute to work; we beat the gridlock traffic and had time to hit the playground before school doors opened.
