[*BCM*] *BCM*] Electro Bike....Re: Battered Biker Syndrome

[Steven Bercu]

Regarding bike parking shortages and the competition for the few scarce rack
spaces among bikes, scooters and motorcycles . . . The state of bike parking
facilities in Cambridge and Boston is currently inadequate.  Cyclists
collectively provide an enormous service to the community by foregoing cars
other vehicles and their attendant noise, dangerousness, consumption of
space, harmful emissions, strain on infrastructure and visual blight.  Yet
we are left to scrounge for places to park the vehicles that make this
contribution possible.  What we really need is more bike corrals installed
former on-street parking spaces.  There’s a nice one outside the Other Side
café on Newbury Street.  Portland, OR and increasingly  San Francisco have
done a beautiful job with this and Boston should follow suit.  We could have
a much better organized and civilized set up for bike parking and really
enhance our quality of life.
