Boston #BikeUp This Sunday
Sick of all the rain that’s been falling in Boston lately? Well, this Sunday afternoon, June 28th is being forecast as rain-free or at least rain-lite so it’ll be a perfect time to get on your bike and pedal about! To that end, come join Aaron Cohen (@UnlikelyWords), Josh Gans (@SportsFan4), and myself (@AdamPieniazek) at […]
Car-free for nearly a year!
For the past year I’ve been nearly car-free. I won’t say it’s been easy but my only regret so far is that I did not start driving less sooner! My unofficial count is that during the past 365 days I’ve either driven or been a passenger in a car a total of less than fifteen […]
Weekend Web Quotes
Lots of interesting stories out around the web, let’s take a look at a few of the best ones before we hit the weekend. Mr. Money, my new alter-ego over at My Last Name Means Money.com made an early debut to discuss why any bank bailout is bad. Simply put it encourages poor business practice […]
Pictures of My Clean Wheels & Twitter Crash Update
A long, long time ago on a post far, far way I promised to upload more pictures of my (then) new (but used) bicycle. Well, months later I’m here to make good on that promise! I cleaned my bike up a few days ago and took the chance to snap a few photos of my […]
Bicycle Lanes in Boston*

Menino’s Gracious Government of the City of Boston introduced two new bicycle lanes into Boston, increasing the number of bicycle lanes on non-state roads in the area formerly known as Boston to two. Here’s a look at a part of the bike lane at Commonwealth […]
Friday Video: A Bicycle Commute in Photos
Check out this cool video Casey found via the Bostonist: Apparently that commute only takes the bicyclist 15 minutes, a pretty good pace for a 3-4 mile trip!
Super Cyclist Troopers
This past Sunday was a particularly gluttonous day for myself and two of my buddies. We grilled multiple times and overall ate a bit too much food, though a lot of it was vegetables. Lately I’ve been eating a lot more food due to biking everywhere but Sunday’s grilling session was overkill. As you can […]
The Cyclists
To celebrate the end of Boston’s Bike Week here’s a great video I discovered a few days ago about the cyclists. Enjoy! Now, all cyclists for sure do not act like that but it is a funny take on the stereotype. Best line ever: “Do not worry, he is biodegradable!” Have a great weekend everyone!
Boston Bike News
Boston’s first annual Bay State Bike Week kicked off with quite the ruckus yesterday. First Mayor Menino struggled to bike the ceremonial half-mile from City Hall Plaza to Post Office Square in very windy conditions. I’ll admit it was quite windy and a struggle at times to pedal yesterday. Plus, I’m getting over a cold […]
Sunny Pictures
Yesterday was the best day weather-wise in Boston in over a half year, with temperatures reaching up into the 80’s and sunny blue skies all around. I spent the day nearly biking around the whole city (about 40 miles in total) and took a few photos. Check them out below (you might need your sunglasses […]
