Here is another great story in our And I Ride campaign. We are seeking to put a face on cycling in support of a legislative campaign that we are working on this year. You can read the rest of these great stories here.

Our next story comes from Brad.

Where I Ride: Boston
How Often I Ride: Daily for commute, transportation and recreation

My Story:
I've been living in Boston for 5 years now as a student and I find the bicycle to be the most ideal form of transportation in this city. The T is often slow and unreliable at the worst of times and cars are too expensive to have in the city. My bike allows me to live a little farther away from school/work and still arrive for class in a timely manner, because my commute is hardly affected by traffic. I can also live further away from subway/bus lines and not be transportation-handicapped.

In addition to the convenience of biking as a form of transportation, it's a fun way to meet people and enjoy the city. Boston is a dynamic place with many corners to explore and on a bike is, in my opinion, the best way to see everything. Whether you are riding around enjoying a nice summer evening, toodling around on a fall weekend morning taking pictures, or rushing to an appointment (and being early despite gridlock traffic), your bike is the cheapest and quickest way to get around.

Thanks Brad! Nice bike.
