this is correct. 25 mph is the city wide default. No idea why the upvotes are going to the misinformation being peddled...

Yes, the same statute states that bicyclists must obey the rules of the road.

I stand corrected. I misread the law and I apologize for that.
However, for all of the laws that your insufferable community break on a literal daily basis see Ch. 85 sec. 11b
"When riding on public ways, bicyclists must obey the same basic traffic laws and regulations that apply to motor vehicle operators."
You want to ride in front of cars or however you want and act like the world revolves around you, its on you whatever happens. In all Seriousness though, stay safe out there. Contrary to popular belief noone wants to see anyone hurt

Ultimately it would be the league’s decision. With that said, we are definitely open to being a league location!

I don’t know if this is actually a thing. I have done many June marathons and they are often as warm. It is the organizers’ responsibility to offer proper hydration.

Cite the statute.
Here is my citation. Mass General Laws Chapter 85, section 11B
> Section 11B. Every person operating a bicycle upon a way, as defined in section one of chapter ninety, shall have the right to use all public ways in the commonwealth except limited access or express state highways where signs specifically prohibiting bicycles have been posted, and shall be subject to the traffic laws and regulations of the commonwealth and the special regulations contained in this section...

Oh yes, looking like it will be 10 tables as of right now, the same amount as the One Kendall location. Somewhere between 8 and 10 pinball machines as well hoping to get some ski ball in there as well.

238 Main, behind the new CVS, about as close to the T stop as you can get.

And you are REQUIRED BY LAW to move over when there is space to do so. City spends ungodly amounts of money to build you people bikes lanes to ride in and you want to be everywhere else but them. They take away parking and left and right turning and all sorts of shit and you wanna ride in the middle of the street anyway. You people are insufferable

there are a bunch of intersections I can think of off the top of my head where the light is long and the sightlines from where you're sitting at the red light are excellent. you have time to look and see if anyone is coming from any given direction, assuming you haven't lost your rearview and sideview mirrors.

They voted to have the City Manager investigate the issue, and start discussions with the DCR and MassDOT.
"ORDERED: That the City Manager is directed to work with the Law Department and the Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department to investigate how to ban turns on red Citywide; and be it further ORDERED: That the City Manager is directed to contact the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, to begin discussions of banning turns on red movements on roadways in Cambridge controlled by those state entities; and be it further ORDERED: That the City Manager be and hereby is requested to report back to the City Council on this matter in a timely manner."
I'm not sure if this text reflects the amendments they passed.

And we all know they’re not going to. So we have a city full of intersections where pedestrians think they’re safe to cross, and drivers think they’re fine to turn on red.

I ran it too, it was bad. I thought something bad happened considering so many people were passed out. $110 race and no water on the course or at the finish? Ridiculous.
