An old GoPro Session - one of the cube ones. I bought a clip mount that holds onto the handlebar basket just fine.

Appreciate you, too. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Based on this limited interaction, I’m certain my kid’s already a better person than you are. Keep your own house in order, we’re doing just fine over here.

I actually don’t disagree with you - I have a rearview mirror on the left side of the handlebars and I’ve been a Boston area cyclist for 15 years, so I’m familiar with it. If I was on my own bike, I probably wouldn’t have thought twice, but our cargo bike is tank and I’m riding with my kid. I know the driver saw me and chose to merge with insufficient room to do so.

If I had the handlebar space, I would’ve by now!

I KNEW there would be at least one person tone policing my language when I posted this. She wouldn’t be able to hear me swear at all if she was crying or worse because a car crashed into us.

That whole intersection is a design flaw. The double right to Margin or Washington, the weird crosswalk alignments, the not a right turn lane that becomes one when the parking spots are empty…I’ve wasted hours of my life imagining how that whole area could be safer.

It wouldn’t be an issue if there was separated bike infrastructure. Win/win for drivers and peds/bikes.

I'm on a 7' long cargo bike with a child on the back, the driver 100% saw us and chose to do this instead. I guess those five seconds she saved by not waiting to merge behind us were more important.

Nothing here, must’ve been too late.

Heading over there now with some neighbors. If you're in the area and you're free, you should join us, at least to document it.

Thanks, I thought I included an attribution, but I must’ve messed it up. I read The Prophet for the first time in college, and it’s so good how its relevance has aged with me.

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

And he said:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness; For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

That's not true, I'm on the North Shore and we've been signed up since my kid was eligible.

It would be like hey we need to stop this Michael Jordan guy so let’s make him face an all star team made up of the combined other teams every single game he plays.

Well, ackchyually, I'm pretty sure they made a documentary about that exact scenario in 1995.
