"Riding a bicycle in Boston is something akin to combat. Cyclists routinely rank the city America's worst.Stung by national criticism and hoping to take a bite out of traffic and air pollution, Mayor Thomas M. Menino is vowing to change that. A newly converted cyclist himself, Menino will announce today the hiring of a bike czar, former Olympic cyclist Nicole Freedman, and a first phase of improvements to include 250 new bike racks across Boston and an online map system."
This weekend is also the Hub on Wheels ride.
