I wonder what those things get per gallon. Aug 05, 2008 - 07:08 am http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=1466&group=11 Here's good news. Looks like we won't be able to afford to drive, we won't be able to afford to take the T. Maybe they will open "Bike Only" streets in Boston.

Personally, I'll take the Falcon if anyone's interested...Click here for the business website.

WBZTV.com is soliciting them now as part of their "Declare Your Curiosity" campaign. Have at it Boston!

May 29, 2008 - 08:05 am http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=1188&group=11 This is a very interesting idea . . . an electric foldable scooter! The concept has been developed by Smart Cities, a company founded by a bunch of MIT Media Lab researchers. Their vision is to rent these scooters available in public places, similar to the way that Zipcar works, except you don't have to return your scooter to the exact place where you picked it up.

This weather is getting nicer and those gas prices aren't getting lower, so why not take out the old bike? May 13, 2008 - 10:05 am http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=1029&group=11 Boltbus starting running routes between Boston and New York for as low as $1 this month. Megabus moves in late May offering the same deal. Both will offer WiFi, but only Boltbus will have power outlets. There are now 5 discount bus companies, including Greyhound, which now offers competitive fares and WiFi too. Will high gas prices spike demand for these services or will a couple pull out because of over supply?

A Hull skateboarder let's his dogs just pull him along. Consider it a Massachusetts version of the iditarod. Apr 14, 2008 - 01:04 pm http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=999&group=11 Economic times are getting tougher and the city plans to raise rates for parking violations to help cover increases in its budget (and any potential shortfalls resulting from lower tax revenue). Time to be even more vigilant when parking your car! Maybe you should think about riding the T more . . .it's cheaper! Remember, the city has made it even easier for you to pay your fines, but offering online payment;) About the only efficient part of the city government! Apr 09, 2008 - 10:04 am http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=1001&group=11 I don't drive often but when I do I am so annoyed by the potholes all around Cambridge and Somerville! If you are in the same situation, you can use this link to find out which roads to try to avoid! Apr 09, 2008 - 12:04 pm http://www.bostonknows.com http://www.bostonknows.com/pages/index.php?item=939&group=11 Last week the city announced that it was going to spend $12 million on improvements for Dorchester Avenue with no mention of bike lanes. The improvements aim to "improve traffic flow". Encouraging people to ride bikes, instead of cars will certainly improve traffic flow! I bike regularly along Dot Ave and it's more adventure then I care to handle most days. It's nice that the mayor appointed a "bike czar," but why not put some serious investment behind his commitment to biking? For those interested in getting more involved with this issue, consider supporting Dot Bike, a new advocacy group for bikers in Dorchester or email your council member.
