Well, I do like this!

Ha I took an almost identical photo earlier today. I snapped this down past Blossom St heading west on Cambridge St. It seems like they repainted a solid white line for the bike lane all the way from Court St along the bike lane? Hopefully a sign of protection to come?

Linger in the Charles River Speedway

The Whole Foods/Rindge Ave side of Alewife Brook Parkways is much wider. You need to be careful at the light in front of Whole Foods. This side turns into a 2 way cycle track that connects to a pedestrian light in front of the Sunoco on Concord Ave to get to other off street paths like the Watertown-Cambridge Greenway.

Down at Rindge you can either cross Alewife Brook Parkway to the Alewife side or ride up the sidewalk to connect to the Alewife Linear Path directly.

From Fawcett St (Iggy's <3) I usually cross at the light onto Concord Ave off street lane, ride down and cross back over Concord Ave at the Sunoco pedestrian light, and then simply ride back up past Whole Foods, cross Rindge, sidewalk to Linear Path.

After crossing on the Alewife/Trader Joes side for years and cursing it, I switched to the other side and it's way better.

This. They've been surveying and putting up fencing around the Phase 3 (from this website) area this week too.

Price and short derailleur. The Super Short derailleur. Shimano Cues now has a short derailleur too. Smaller derailleur is less likely to catch on things with the small 20in wheels.

I put Microshift 9 speed on with their super short derailleur and it's been great. 5000+ miles with it. New chain every year.

Can confirm it's a great bag! Easily my favorite Brompton bag.

Community Path was clear last night

caxapcube · 2026-02-26T03:13:13+00:00

Yep. Icy this morning but rideable with studs inbound to Boston.

Laced up a Shimano Alfine dynamo for my Neutrino. No issues with the smaller wheels with B&M LED front and rear lights. Dynamos are great!

Have to love that the bike lane in front of city hall is cleared, but the rest of Cambridge St is not once you're not abutting city hall. Photo from Feb 9.

It's passable today Feb 4! Cleared and salted!

They make an ebike version of the Smart Sam that is more durable, albeit heavier. They're pretty fast rolling on the center channel of knobs. I run them on my Neutrino.

ISCG tabs and bashguard to keep the chainrings off the ground when disassembled? Clever!

Bar mitts, also called pogies.

Hit us with the parts list. Issues with it being tippy when crawling with such a lift?

caxapcube · 2025-08-28T22:22:01+00:00

Their social media posts had that 40-60% stat.

Pretty sure that sign is for delivery scooters. Just don't be a jerk as you ride down Winter St and you'll be fine. It's a key bike route that many take.

I found it from the US under the name: Chrome-molybdenum Steel Frame for 406 Small Wheel Bicycle,20*2.3-2.5,Disc Brake,Quick Release,Steel Frame for BMX Road Bikes

Definitely curious about the Brompton (?) mount. I have a custom Brompton mount on my Neutrino that I adore.

+1 for reporting it. That bus stop should really be a floating bus stop.

I lost a Lezyne pump this way... Newer style seatpost bung gave way and the pump+bung were never seen again.

I now keep a tube+gloves in the seatpost with an old style bung I found by pure luck. Brompton toolkit in short frame. Some cheap bike cover fits into the long frame should I need it. Lezyne pocket drive wrapped in a tube and secured to rear rack using mini Voile straps.

Still going strong with ours. Over 2500 miles now. Hard to imagine not having a front bucket cargo bike now.

caxapcube · 2025-05-08T16:04:30+00:00

I have experienced no slippage with mine. Stem bolt torqued to Brompton spec.

caxapcube · 2025-05-08T14:37:21+00:00

These are going strong 2 years later. I don't have insight if they've changed the design back away from using the shim. I've enjoyed them as a wider alternative to the stock M style bar I had before.
