Hello #Boston - with lovely weather on the forecast, if you're able, I hope that you can recharge and leave home to enjoy your #NewEngland as many gather for (checks list) the marathon, protests, the end of Passover, Easter, 4/20, and Patriots' Day. Oh, and I've got a personal celebration, too.
Once more, I present for you a lovingly curated thread of local events: #BostonWeekend 1/x
New wheelset, new waxed chain, new bar tape, new brake pads, new tires (30mm now vs 28mm)
It feels awesome and looks awesome. The Enve inner drive free hub is loud, and I swapped the 60 teeth ratchet to 90 teeth, which makes higher pitch noise. I still need to get used to it, but good thing is that runners and pedestrians can hear me approaching 🤪 if they're not wearing headphones...
Quick 10 miles spin along Neponset River.

No one but Josh Kraft :" traffic jams are caused by bike lanes I'm sure!!"
And also stupid and erratic driver behaviors too.
Neponset River Greenway extension from Tenean Beach to Morrissey Blvd bridge is OPEN!
Beautiful views of Dorchester Bay and the colorful gas tank (?) LOL
Omg these drivers are so dumb they can't keep the intersection clear (they just can't help themselves) and no one can move even on a green light so nobody is going anywhere and I have to bike around and in between cars because they're dumb fucks and block crosswalks too. Blame that on bike lanes Josh Kraft the dumbest mayor candidate ever.
Rant over.
I'm traveling for work, and so I'll be re-running two old episodes of Not Brahms and Liszt, this week and next. For this Monday (6/16/25), we'll have

134 Miles Boston to Provincetown on the bike!
Great fun, despite all three of us getting punctures. My tubeless setup healed itself within 15 mins or so. My friend wasn't so lucky. It was too big for sealant. Thankfully I have the plug.
It was a very hot day to ride this long. Elsa seemed to be not mentally ready for this ride to be so hard. Fact is no matter how strong you are, you start to suffer at some point. To some people it's around 70-80 miles or even 120 miles. To me it's around 100 miles. But a hotdog really helped :)
A lot of cicadas on the cape! Is this year when they come out partying every 17 years?

If you're curious how beautiful Dorchester bay is at 5:30am in the summer......
Too bad you can only see this view from or next to a 6 lane stroad that gets flooded every so often.

Omg my city is beautiful. N Washington bridge is 99% complete I can say.
When are they going to clean up the construction materials and potter potties on the inbound bike lane though?

Boston Globe even failed to mention the cyclist was on the SIDEWALK when he was murdered by the driver, who drove his Mercedes SUV directly onto the sidewalk. If there were events like MIT commencement, there'd be easily crowds of people on the sidewalk, and the driver would kill many pedestrians.
Is it too much to ask cars to stay on the road?
Edit: capital letters SIDEWALK
