Slow Saturday Special: Boston Globe Bike Ride

You can take your life in your hands if you want.   

"Bicyclists embark on 500-mile trek" by Johanna Kaiser  |  Globe Correspondent, March 17, 2012

The cyclists will be traveling through cities and towns along the East Coast to promote bicycling and to raise money for the Bikes Belong Foundation, a group that advocates for biking and biking infrastructure....

Tim Johnson, a Topsfield resident and six-time national cyclocross champion who started the event, said he was excited to see people concerned about fitness, transportation, and the environment on bikes and supporting cycling together.

“The whole point of the ride is to show you can ride anywhere,’’ Johnson told the riders before leading them down Cambridge Street.

Along the way, riders will be trailed by a caravan of vehicles offering support and first aid and a portable kitchen cooking food such as sushi rice cakes and waffle sandwiches from scratch. Riders will consume up to 5,000 calories per day.

"Hubway to branch out next spring; Bikes, stations will debut in Cambridge and Somerville" November 28, 2011|By Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff

After recording 140,000 trips in four months, Boston’s European-style bicycle-sharing system is expanding across the Charles River, with stations planned for Cambridge and Somerville after a winter hiatus.

The 60-station, 600-bike Hubway system will shut down Wednesday night and reopen in March, weather permitting, when it will quickly expand....
