<DIV>If you run traffic lights in certain parts of Cambridge, you are likely to
get a ticket. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My favorite shop is Broadway Bicycle School, on Broadway in
Cambridge. Wheelworks & Back Bay Bikes are good.
There are other good shops, too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And most importantly, Critical Mass meets the last Friday of each month at
Copley Square, 5:30 pm. Waaaahooooo !</DIV>

<DIV>Hey all,</DIV>
<DIV>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...</DIV>
<DIV>
Thanks for the help, hope to ride with you soon,</DIV>
<DIV>
