I made the mistake of seeing bike lanes and assuming renting an electric would be a good way to get around.
Boston bike lanes are suggestions, not enforced. And they often run in between two car lanes.
I'm a pretty risk-taking dude. motorcycles, adventure/rally cars, 'survival' camping, you name it. But I will NEVER ride a bicycle in Boston again.
What a terrifying experience.
It's not for the faint lmao. Still, the bike infra in Boston is way, way better every year. I recall biking by North station recently and it was.. like there was a separate bike like and lights and shit. It was nothing like what it used to be - which was nothing for bikes at all.
Once you get used to it and know what you're comfortable with.. it's all pretty good
Fair enough. Do they still have bike lanes where the car lane to the left has to cross the bike lane to turn right? That was my biggest 'WTF' factor.
I've encountered one in Allston
