Such a powerful video from @boston.gov and @streets.boston.gov about the impact of e-bikes (and the city's e-bike voucher program). Just look at the joy these bikes have brought to Steven and Muriel Leonard!

Aux Bishops homily today was all about car-blindness, the need to live among one another, and ultimately how our lives are not our own. It was great, loved it, 10/10
