I attended about an hour of the public hearing at Boston City Hall on the need for a bike czar in Boston. In addition to the usual suspects, representatives from Walk Boston
and Zipcar both testified in favor of creating this new position who
would fight for cyclists from “within the bureaucracy” (such an
appealing way to describe it, even if true!). As a resident of
Cambridge, not Boston, I didn’t quite feel empowered to speak, even if
only half the speakers seemed to live in Boston; there were over 50
names on the list, and I’m sure I had nothing new to say, really.

Just that I hope that Boston does hire a bike czar and re-form the
bike committee that withered from lack of funding 2 years ago.
