Nathaniel Fink writes the blog Cycle Style Boston, “celebrating the everyday use of bicycles and the people who ride them.”
Recently he struck up a conversation with a devoted bicyclist I know. He describes how Kevin commutes by bike from Brookline to Dewey Square in Boston.
“He cycles every day of the year there isn’t ice on the ground. Rather than the direct route through Kenmore Square, he chooses a longer but more relaxing route route through Brookline to the BU Bridge, where he gets on the Charles River Esplanade bike path towards downtown. Says Kevin, ‘I feel like I have one of the most beautiful commutes in Boston.’ …
“I love Kevin’s attitude about cycling in the city: ‘I’m just a normal rider and I don’t wear a lot of special gear. I’ve ridden to work on days when the temperature was in the 100′s, and I’ve also ridden to work on days when the temperature was in the single digits.’ His internally-geared Cannondale commuter is a smart choice for daily usage.” More.
Kevin was delighted to be interviewed. He told Suzanne’s mom, “The guy who writes the blog is a professional photographer so he takes pretty nice pictures. The whole blog is really great, too. It’s a nice way to promote biking around Boston because it shows lots of regular people doing regular things on their bikes.”
I hope some biking folks who read Suzanne’s Mom’s Blog will take a look at Cycle Style Boston.
