My best friend got a job opportunity closer to family but across the country in a car-dependent area, so I decided to gift the car to her to help her move and settle in to her new space.

A little backstory: I've had the same car since 2011. It was starting to get up there in years and maintenance costs, and #Somerville and #Cambridge bike infrastructure has improved drastically in that time. I've been toying with the idea for years, but never quite made the plunge.

I am now #carfree! I have been debating trying to live without a car for some time now, and the timing finally aligned to give it a go. Theoretically between transit, ride shares, rentals, and my cargo bike this should be doable, but we'll see. #biketooter

Got some travel coming up this fall - anyone have recs for #Amsterdam or #Athens? Food & drink, infrastructure, culture, etc.

Hey #Boston #Somerville #Cambridge and #Massachusetts in general - Early Voting for the September 1st primary is now open! A lot of districts have very competitive primaries. Check your local elections office for sample ballots, do your research, and please go vote!
