Celebration of new protected bike and bus lanes to take place Saturday, meeting at Linear Park
A rally and bicycle ride celebrating the installation of protected bike and bus lanes on Massachusetts Avenue in North Cambridge is scheduled for noon Saturday at the Linear Park at Cedar Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Organized by members of the Cambridge Bicycle Safety advocacy group, the rally is expected to feature speakers, bicycle decorations and a short guided ride on the north- and southbound protected bicycle lanes.
What the group called “long-awaited protected bicycle lanes” on Massachusetts Avenue between Dudley Street and the Cambridge-Arlington line were installed starting Nov. 8 under the city’s Cycling Safety Ordinance, originally passed by the City Council in 2019. The 2015 Cambridge Bicycle Plan slated this section of Massachusetts Avenue for protected bike lanes.

Bono wonders whether the “celebration” is going to include running red lights, riding on the sidewalk, and running over the elderly and infirmed in the crosswalks? (Handing out helmets for all the bicyclists in Cambridge who can’t be bothered to wear one??) Given the complaints of so many of the business owners and residents in this area (people who actually live there) the arrogance of those who would organize such an event is truly astonishing. (Perhaps the do-nothing Cambridge Police Department will be there giving out lollipops… Special recognition for whoever has the most traffic violations!) Bono thinks he’ll skip this one.
