The presenters from Critical Mass Boston shared this story at tonight’s Streetwise talk at Aeronaut - where a hundred-some cyclists just hopped out of the road to let an ambulance through.
Cool stuff.

My favorite moment on the Critical Mass ride this evening was when a hundred plus cyclists yoinked our selves and our bikes out of the way to let an ambulance through.
Let’s see that cars do that.

"Peter Cheung isn’t just a cyclist. He’s the city’s most notorious bike crusader, the Lycra-clad zealot who cheered Wu into a full-blown war on cars."

A sweltering heat wave is affecting millions of Americans this week. 🔥🌡️ Protect yourself and your child in the back seat! It's NEVER safe to leave them alone in a vehicle.
This is how quickly a car heats up.

A thing I did not consider when having a guest who's running the 10k and a guest spectating: I need to be out the door when the runner is getting up, an hour before the spectator
I'm doing my race prep by headlight currently as to not wake anyone

I have been sick all week, so I have not been on the bike, which is such a shift after being only on the bike last weekend because I was injured, and it's so nice to feel fast again

Somerville’s PorchFest clogged the streets of the 80,000-person city. Now, the event will have more rules. - The Boston Globe
When it started in 2011, PorchFest was all about thinking small. Last year, it drew hundreds of bands, and tens of thousands of concertgoers.
