Boston Lot - Lakeside Trail Care Project


This project resulted in many awesome improvements on Lakeside trail and Olivia's Path.

We would like very much to hear from regular users of Boston Lot Trails for suggestions regarding a work project for next year.

As bicycling season is now in full swing, it's very important to remember that every bicyclist is an ambassador at all times.  Reports about cyclists riding two abreast and impeding the flow of traffic are already coming to me.  Please understand that these are legitimate complaints from concerned motorists, not the ravings of bicycle-hating crazies.

At the state level, we risk losing rights that advocacy efforts have struggled to win.  Every cyclist who exhibits thoughtless, ignorant, or aggressive behavior gives all cyclists a black eye.

Here's what you can do to help:

Pay attention to traffic and single up when cars approach you from behind. Two abreast is allowed but only when not impeding the normal and reasonable flow of traffic.

Observe all traffic signs and signals (as if you were driving a car). Tell your friends and riding companions to do the same.

When you spot cyclists you don't know exhibiting bad behavior, urge them (in a nice way) to follow the law.

When a motorist exhibits aggressive, ignorant, or thoughtless behavior, don't respond in kind.  Get the plate number and report the offender to local authorities (police department and selectboard).


Ride safely.
