At one particularly bad intersection, where I'm usually trapped between a bus and a dump truck, I'm sitting at the light behind four other cyclists. I drafted the last mile behind a hipster fixie. Then, after a shower and changing, I walked into Harvard Square and was greeted by a crowd of Freds scooping up free swag, coffee and bagels. I asked another cyclist what the heck was going on and he says "Bike to Work Week, free breakfast for bike commuters."
Sometimes Massachusetts is just so cool.
p.s. I know, I'm clueless.
Great report, antimatt. This is fab news! You know what happens next - those newb bicycle commuters are going to love it.
... and there ain't no turnin' back once you fall in love with bicycling.
