#massbike — Public Fediverse posts

Near miss today at Mass Ave and Haviland St reminded me that:

1. I really need new brake pads, and
2. Mayor Wu is a massive safe streets disappointment

Survey time! Provincetown’s Bicycle Friendly community award is up for renewal & they’d like your feedback on what it’s like to ride a bike here: https://bikept.org/survey2024 #BFC #Provincetown #CapeCod #BikeLeague #Massachusetts #MassBike #bicycle #bike #BikeTooter

They’d have hit the trifecta of excuses if they’d included “emergency vehicles”. #Boston used o try to wriggle out of installing raised crosswalks for the same “reasons” - now they’re standard. Small towns like #Marblehead (and #Provincetown) just don’t have staff/elected officials who get that these are simple, inexpensive, & effective ways to make streets safer. #SafeStreets #mapoli #publicWorks #trafficCalming #crosswalks #walking #bicycling #MassBike #WalkMass https://urbanists.social/@streetsblogmass/112378753422911740

We just launched our #BikeMatch program and already have a half dozen requests for bikes! Do you or someone you know have an unused bike taking up space? Consider donating it to match with someone who needs a #bike!

Thank you #MassBike and all the Massachusetts legislators for making this new passing law happen: https://www.massbike.org/aatrtf_signedintolaw #BikeTooter #4feetplease

@dankennedy_nu And importantly, if they do lack a rear light, this cannot be used by law enforcement to stop the cyclist- which gets to the inequity issue which might arise here.

I hope bike shops start to give a rear light with every bike purchase. #MassBike run free give always for rear lights, to give every one lights.

"An Act to Reduce Traffic Fatalities" signed into law in #Massachusetts #mapoli

It took almost 10 years to push through.

4 ft safe passing distance; defines vulnerable users; requires truck side guards & backup cameras;

Thanks to all involved

this is encouraging news.
is #MassBike in the fediverse?

MassBike has been advocating for "An Act to Reduce Traffic Fatalities." We’ve worked closely with the Vision Zero Coalition on this important legislation to help end fatal crashes on our streets. This bill will support not only the safety of people walking and biking, but also the safety of people in wheelchairs, construction workers on their job sites, tow truck drivers and first responders stopped on the side of the road, and anyone out on our public ways without the protection of steel, seatbelts, and airbags.
