More Boston Bike Stuff - News and Fun!

After YEARS of driving, biking and scooting roughly down North Harvard Street toward Harvard Square, it is wonderful news to hear it's going to be repaved, RIGHT NOW! The work will be done from July 13-25, bikers should stay on the sidewalk on the north side, and scooters beware, especially if the road is wet!

In addition to the smooth roads, bike lanes will be added on N. Harvard street (and parking decreased).

Turns out in 2010, the rest of N. Harvard street toward Cambridge St. will also be re-paved.
