[*BCM*] Bike Shops

If you run traffic lights in certain parts of Cambridge, you are likely to get a ticket.  

Boston cops don't bother me, unless I make the mistake of riding through the Public Garden.  Stay off the sidewalks as much as possible, except on the Esplanade/Memorial Drive along the Charles River.  Learn how to ride through a rotary.  Stay out of the 'door zone'.  Take no guff from taxis.  Brick pavers are slippery when wet.

My favorite shop is Broadway Bicycle School, on Broadway in Cambridge.    Wheelworks & Back Bay Bikes are good.  There are other good shops, too.

And most importantly, Critical Mass meets the last Friday of each month at Copley Square, 5:30 pm.  Waaaahooooo !

  Hey all,
  I'm a biker from New York and moving to Boston at the end of the month.  I was wondering if anyone knew a good (read: not too expensive) shop in the city.  My old ride was stolen a few days ago and I want to get a new one as soon as I get in the city.  If anyone has any info I would really appreciate the help.  Also, do the Boston critical mass rides experience as much police harassment as we get from the NYPD?  Just want to know if I should leave some traffic ticket room in my budget...
                                                                 Thanks for the help, hope to ride with you soon,
                                                                                                           -Pat
