Hey motorists. Please be considerate and think of where you are swinging that thing. All I’m asking is look in your mirror before you place that wall of metal across the bicycle lane. Would you do that in a car lane? Probably not. I’m getting tired of skidding and swerving into traffic to avoid your [...]

There was some time when I didn’t hear the constant chirping of the birds. Now that spring is right around the corner, I am hearing all sorts of new sounds coming from the trees and hedges. I’m also seeing a lot more pedestrian traffic. Looks like the nicer weather is bringing out people as well. [...]

Well, Looks like I need to put out an apology. On my first route this morning after leaving the shop, I ran a RED in Union Square. The only reason why I’m saying this to all of you is that people notice and it affects MetroPed’s reputation. As I was cruising up towards the light, [...]

Actually, let me specify. The roads are clear of snow. I’ve been seeing the same congestion as always. Looks like you can still afford the $3.60 a gallon.

So, my first route today took me to the Harvard Book Store where I picked up three books fresh off the shelves to deliver around Cambridge. First off, I was glad to be riding on this crisp holiday morning where the streets were clear and people all around just seemed happy. The bike was working [...]

Hey, guess what? The sun is out and I was walking around the shop in shorts and a T-shirt for some time today! Its quite amazing outside, so get on your bikes and enjoy it. I am starting to see bikes emerge all over the city from the snow plow drifts. You people are killing [...]

Erik just said Saturday. A wintery mix. So, there you have it. The next weather forecast straight from MetroPed. Your bicycle traffic update for today is wet, but clear. You might get a mix of snow flakes in an otherwise a blue sky, which makes for a beautiful commute. Watch out for the Washington/Cambridge Street [...]

So, I just heard the weather forecast and looked it up on the most reputable forecast site that all New Englanders rely on and I’ve come to agree that it just is not cool. You can see for yourself, but I don’t know if there’s anywhere else to put all that ____. And although they [...]
