BICYCLE SAFTY SUMMIT @ BU 4/21

Please watch out for violence & slick roads from oil near the corner of Tremont and Mass ave. My coworker crashed his bike from slipping on oil late yesterday and a random crazy man in his mid-thirties punched him in the face for no reason.

If you ride a bike or have a friend that does please go to Mayor Menino’s Bicycling Safety Summit on Wednesday April 21, 2010 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM at BU’s Morse Auditorium, 602 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA.

The Summit will gather area bicyclists and high-ranking city officials to discuss ways of improving safety for everyone who uses Boston’s roadways. The session will feature short speeches followed by a longer, open question and answer session. Our goal is to collectively begin to understand how to make Boston’s roads as safe as possible for all users.

Featured speakers and/or panelists include:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino
Boston Police Commissioner, Ed Davis
Boston Transportation Commissioner, Thomas Tinlin
Boston EMS Chief, James Hooley
State Transportation Secretary, Jeffrey Mullan
MBTA General Manager, Rich Davies
Boston Bikes Director, Nicole Freedman

The Mayor’s announcement of the Summit comes in the wake of a third recent bike accident and ahead of Boston Bike Week next month. For more information, please see: http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=4624
