I did a quick google search on the guy who complained about almost getting hit by a biker on the sidewalk, and it sounds like he's perennially good for a cranky soundbite- a constant candidate for cambridge city council and I guess what you would call a "gadfly".<br /><br />Hope it happens soon- I could use it today when I ended up getting a ride into work by the Scientist but would like to ride home despite the heat.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-25234840937026516012011-07-21T14:26:59.408-04:002011-07-21T14:26:59.408-04:00This was ob Boston.com regarding Hubway expansion ...This was ob Boston.com regarding Hubway expansion into Cambridge.<br /><br />http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/cambridge/2011/07/bicycle_sharing_could_come_to.htmlMoopheusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-55038700520779400232011-07-15T11:27:06.974-04:002011-07-15T11:27:06.974-04:00I've been rideless this past week as both bike...I've been rideless this past week as both bikes are in the shop, and I've been pining (pining!) for the Hubway to get here already. The connections to Cambridge are still pretty vague though, so in reality, I don't know how much I'll use it, especially if phase one really is just going to be south of the river.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-16866296041636203912011-07-15T09:44:19.723-04:002011-07-15T09:44:19.723-04:00How exciting that Boston is also getting an Alta b...How exciting that Boston is also getting an Alta bikeshare program! I like your note about thinking about a membership as a chairtable donation. That is exactly how I use my Capital Bikeshare membership! I so rarely use CaBi, as it has come to be know in DC, but having a membership gives me the feeling that I'm supporting something I DO feel strongly about.<br /><br />That being said, more helpful uses for BikeShare systems:<br />- bike one-way to the bars! <br />- bike to meet friends, but when moving from spot to spot in the city you no longer have to lug your bike around!<br />- going on vacation or staying somewhere for a couple days? Don't lock your bike up in an unsafe area...take bikeshare!<br /><br />One last note: Zipcar has perfected the car sharing program, really and truly. One of the best things about it? I can go on vacation to Seattle and - because my Zipcard is universal - I can share a car in Seattle. If we could get Alta to agree to reciprocity for tourists, it would be a perfect system! I've emailed Alta about it, but not yet heard back.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255933756755915353noreply@blogger.com
