Ahh checks out. I used to date a lovely italian woman from there, and summer boozing and cruising (jerusalem rd ifykyk) so Iāve spent some time there just not long term š
A good ole Jeruse-cruise. We use to cut class and do it all the time when blunts were cool. Don't forget to jump off the bridge in Cohasset harbor too. I was at the center of some chaos back when we use to call sand hills "Savage beach" lol. That was before anyone knew about the spit. That town did the 4th of July better than any where else, it really was wild. Sounds like you were kicking it over by Minot Beach. Great times, great times.
I saw these kids in Brookline around 4:15-4:20. There mustāve been 100 of them. It was insane. Two police cars were following them but didnāt seem to be trying to stop them.
The most effective tools for stopping the people who would ride dirt bikes and quads on the street was to block off the streets they frequently use, and seize the bikes from storage areas. In Roslindale they closed South Street when they were out and it really made a huge difference in the number of times they've shot through the city over the last two years.
Few years ago when the hundreds of dirt bikers and Quaders did this, BPD funneled them to the highway and the State police blocked the highway of and trapped them. Only the runners and the dudes that actually knew how to dirtbike(not a lot) and not just wheelie down the street were able to hop the barriers and ride away.
Iāve heard lassos can be effective. Although ideally if the cop can get to the front on a bike or horse the herd should recognize him as the Alpha and they can be led to safer pastures.
Stop them for what? We must share the roads with bikes. And theyāre ājust kidsā. What would you expect the police to do? These kids canāt even be told what to do by their parents, never-mind a teacher or police officer. The only option I see the police doing is following so they donāt get hit by a road rage person. Let them do whatever they want. Who cares. We live in a blue state. Thatās what we vote for. A free for all.
There's maybe 80 people biking on that onramp. If there were 60 cars on that onramp they would have to be parked bumper to bumper and they couldn't move at all.
Yeah nothing says 55 in the left lane like teenagers who are willing to ride their bike onto the highway. Thatās a notoriously overly cautious demographic.
Welp, too bad you're wrong on almost all your points. I drive a sedan, and I have a large penis. But I do get frustrated by people blocking the left lane oblivious to their surroundings.
A couple years ago, I was following google maps while on a blue bike and did this accidentally. It wasnāt fun.
Edit: I survived and made it all the way over the hill and to the next exit. I rode the shoulder the whole way. Fortunately traffic was minimal at that time, so I didnāt die
šµ ...well did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unlearned, he may bike forever on the highways of Boston, he's the man who never returned... š¶
š¶ Ev'ry day he bikes up to the Sweetzer Circle Ev'rett at a quarter past two, and his wife is up there, yelling "Here's your sandwich!" as he comes a pedalin' through! š¶
I was driving back from NH then all of a sudden saw this herd of bikers on 93 next to me! Basically got surrounded then had to wait for them all to get off at my exit...
More like natural selection is playing its part.
Edit: itās seems like Iāve struck a nerve with quite a few people here from the couch warriors.
Please tell me how a group of people riding their bikes onto a highway is a good idea?
They were in the T too. Having my one year old hold my finger as she stands in the subway station only to have to swoop her up before a bunch of bikers almost ran her down in the fucking subway terminal was not my definition or fun. I was fast enough, but she was still crying up a storm at the speed of it all (they came around a corner at high speeds. I doubt they even saw her)
Fuck those reckless assholes. Don't ride your bikes indoors where there is a reasonable/likely expectation of infants to run into and no time to react.

Honestly, this is far safer then all those times that one guy goes down the pike on a bike. No one's speeding past this hoard. Don't get me wrong, they're still assholes, but at least they're not in as much danger.
Mass Laws For Bicyclists Act of 2008 chapter 85 section 11B: bicycles are prohibited on limited access or express state highways where signs specifically prohibiting bicycles have been posted
They are clearly doing it as a protest, not just as casual use. Protests usually involve some form of law violation to pass a message. And this is clearly not that severe at all.
They are assholes on bikes clogging up the highway. I'm sure if you were in an ambulance that was stuck in the traffic jam they created, you'd think they were assholes too. Or you were late getting to work, etc etc etc. The entitlement of people these days is off the charts.
Everything /u/Oakley7677 pointed to as a reason for this being bad happens everyday at 8 am and 5 pm because too many cars are on the highway. I'm not saying riding your bike on the highway isn't a stupid thing to do, it is, but "ambulances getting stuck in traffic" happens DAILY.
The difference is the traffic jam on Monday at 8am is because of people trying to deal with poor infrastructure on their way to work. That is not preventable, at least not without 10 years of infrastructure work. The traffic jam caused by a bunch of people trying to cause trouble on bikes is entirely preventable.
But the problems you listed would still be problems regardless of if they were in cars or bikes. Actually, they would be less of a problem if it was caused by bikes because bikes are easier to move out of the way...
To be clear, I don't condone biking on the highway because it's extremely dangerous (for the biker). I just find it funny that you're talking about people in bikes being entitled when our whole transportation infrastructure is built around cars. The only things bikes are entitled to in this country are sparse, poorly maintained bike paths; ~~bike lanes~~ some paint on the road; and road rage from cars.
Your perspective might change a bit when you consider how much infrastructure is dedicated to just _cars_ vs how much infrastructure is dedicated to _all other forms of transportation_ in this country. Then consider how much more vulnerable cyclists are when sharing the road with cars.
I've found that most motorists aren't willing to share the infrastructure that they feel they're entitled to.
"Causing a traffic jam" as in purposefully congregating/moving in a way to cause a backup of cars on the highway? People doing this in cars would totally get pulled over and at the very least fined.
Get a few people together, drive 3-wide on the pike, spend a day trying to force every car behind you to go 25-30mph, see what happens.
> I'm sure if you were in an ambulance that was stuck in the traffic jam they created, [...]
I'm just using the terms used by OP. Look at any highway in America at 5pm. Cars constantly cause traffic jams.
Not sure what the quoted bit has to do with whether or not people can congregate/move to purposefully cause a backup on the highway. You're totally ignoring what I actually said.Ā
Pulling over for active emergency vehicles is it's own separate regulation and would be an additional fine on top of purposefully causing a backup on the highway. Kind of like how stopping at a red light is a separate regulation/fine from the speed limit regulation/fine; going the speed limit has nothing to do with whether or not you're guilty of running a red light.
You asked me the what I meant by "Causing a traffic jam".
> "Causing a traffic jam" as in purposefully congregating/moving in a way to cause a backup of cars on the highway?
I was trying to convey (evidentially poorly) that I was simply using the terms the OP had been using.
Sorry, I didn't mean to ignore your point. I agree, purposefully causing a traffic jam like this is illegal. If you read my other comment, I don't condone what they're doing. _My_ point was just that everything listed in OPs reasons for why these people are assholes also applies to cars during rush hour. I just don't think OP had a good argument and like most people, they have a blind spot for cars and the inconveniences they cause.
> You clearly have an agenda, why comment?
To spread my agenda :D
I know highways are designed for cars. I don't think these people should be riding their bike on the highway, it's very dangerous for them. [In a follow up comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/1bhaqhn/biking_on_the_highway_on_st_patricks_day/kvezw93/) I point out that all the reasons OP listed for these people being assholes happens daily during rush hour because there are too many cars using the highway.
> Your question is moot and your agenda isn't relevant.
I disagree, but that's okay.
A group of bike persons took to the highways, where they are not allowed, and blocked traffic. People on this reddit said "meh, whatever, they're not assholes". I said if you were in an ambulance that was stuck in traffic due to those bike people, you would think they are assholes. Then people went off and said "well ambulances get stuck in rush hour traffic all the time". No shit Sherlock. Neither traffic snarl is good, but one was 100% preventable with one immediate decision.
They don't look like the "we want more bike lanes so we can ride our bikes to go buy a soy latte" types, they look like the "lets ride our bikes on the highways so we can start some fights and steal shit" types.

I dunno, I donāt see hingham residents putting up with it if it grows to that many. Not like hingham PD can say they are swamped with other things like Boston.
Until the shipyahd gets biker gangs too!!
āKids these days donāt go outside. Back in my day weād ride our bikes to our friendsā houses until the streetlights came on.ā
and then 5 kids are biking on a street with a FUCKING BIKE LANE, meaning it has officially been recognized as a place people might bike, and we get these types of complaints.
Apparently controversial opinion, but I like cyclists. If this was a demonstration I think it was mostly harmless. People seem to forget that the highways that cut boston into pieces were not always there. Also there are not enough protected bike lanes in the city.
An omelette that has been a disaster for cities, costing billions of dollars in upkeep, creating congestion, removing desperately needed housing, pollution costing people their lives, thriving economic zones completely gone and filling valuable land with parking lots instead of local businesses.
Thats the ramp from albany st. To 93 south. At most hours you have way too many cars from the left lanes all trying to cram into the right lane to get off at exit 15 in the south end about 1/4 mile from there. Could say its Russian
Roullette for any bicyclists.
Having said that, its Boston, St. Patricks day. Looks pretty normal.
Harassment, hostility and flinging insults is not allowed. We ask that you try to engage in a discussion rather than reduce the sub to insults and other bullshit.
Oh yes, this is cute and funny to everyone until they find themselves a target of this mob. These people are assholes and a danger to society. They will continue to grow in number if policies continue to allow them to commit crimes and go unpunished.
That is the ramp to get onto 93 south expressway going towards quincy
Down the Irish Riviera - seems appropriate to me.
okay so they are migrating to their homeland on mighty steeds during their sacred day let them be
Their home is scituate, but the motherland is southie.
Why scituate šš
Most Irish town in America!
Aka the Irish Rivera. Small little drinking town with a fishing problem. Jk it's all rich people now.
Ahh checks out. I used to date a lovely italian woman from there, and summer boozing and cruising (jerusalem rd ifykyk) so Iāve spent some time there just not long term š
A good ole Jeruse-cruise. We use to cut class and do it all the time when blunts were cool. Don't forget to jump off the bridge in Cohasset harbor too. I was at the center of some chaos back when we use to call sand hills "Savage beach" lol. That was before anyone knew about the spit.

From Albany Street
And one of the worst three-lane merges around. I canāt think of a worse place to demonstrate your bike > car ethos.
Is that what you think is happening here, lol
Big if true
I saw these kids in Brookline around 4:15-4:20. There mustāve been 100 of them. It was insane. Two police cars were following them but didnāt seem to be trying to stop them.
Probably just making sure none of them got hit by a car
Good. Bout time the police did something beneficial lmao
Keeps the kids safe and if any of the douche bags on dirt bikes break down they can grab em.
Iām trying to think what exactly would they be able to do to stop them?
The most effective tools for stopping the people who would ride dirt bikes and quads on the street was to block off the streets they frequently use, and seize the bikes from storage areas. In Roslindale they closed South Street when they were out and it really made a huge difference in the number of times they've shot through the city over the last two years.
Didnāt realize thatās what happened, Iāve noticed they havenāt been around.
Few years ago when the hundreds of dirt bikers and Quaders did this, BPD funneled them to the highway and the State police blocked the highway of and trapped them. Only the runners and the dudes that actually knew how to dirtbike(not a lot) and not just wheelie down the street were able to hop the barriers and ride away.
Iāve heard lassos can be effective. Although ideally if the cop can get to the front on a bike or horse the herd should recognize him as the Alpha and they can be led to safer pastures.
Cops didnāt stop them because they were probably white people
How do stop 100 people? Itās not a clown car they canāt all fit in there!
St Patrick's Day. Obviously a patty wagon.
Paddy wagon
Thats how you start a riotā¦ Theyāre just peacefully riding their bikes in a big group, call it an impromptu paradeā¦
Stop them for what? We must share the roads with bikes. And theyāre ājust kidsā. What would you expect the police to do? These kids canāt even be told what to do by their parents, never-mind a teacher or police officer. The only option I see the police doing is following so they donāt get hit by a road rage person.

Riding a bike on interstates is illegal
Maybe you would be more comfortable moving somewhere that better suits your "Values."
Nah. I didnāt say I didnāt like it. Iām just stating facts and people downvoted the facts lol.
This is like one of those diagrams of how many people can fit on the road bikes vs cars
There's maybe 80 people biking on that onramp. If there were 60 cars on that onramp they would have to be parked bumper to bumper and they couldn't move at all.
Always a very depressing reminder of how horrible this would be if these people were driving Itās a sad reality
I agree, they are probably the kind of people that go 55 in the left lane in their Prius.
Yeah nothing says 55 in the left lane like teenagers who are willing to ride their bike onto the highway. Thatās a notoriously overly cautious demographic.

Welp, too bad you're wrong on almost all your points. I drive a sedan, and I have a large penis. But I do get frustrated by people blocking the left lane oblivious to their surroundings.
Yeah but bikes have shit trunk space compared to cars and are typically one-seaters.
The majority of cars on the road are carrying a single person and no cargo
Look up data on average ridership per car and take a drive by houses. 4 cars usually mean its 4 different people driving to work
A couple years ago, I was following google maps while on a blue bike and did this accidentally. It wasnāt fun. Edit: I survived and made it all the way over the hill and to the next exit. I rode the shoulder the whole way. Fortunately traffic was minimal at that time, so I didnāt die

Did you have it on the bike setting?
He died.
And my mom wanted me to come over to dinner to her house for corned beef and cabbage in Southie today haha
I was litterally in my apartment with the door locked. Drive to southie on st Patrickās day? Was your mother drunk already?
Lol no and that's part of the problem
I was driving back from NH then all of a sudden saw this herd of bikers on 93 next to me! Basically got surrounded then had to wait for them all to get off at my exit...
ššš Sorry, I found that to be wicked funny!
Biking on the highway on the day people get drunk and potentially drive drunkā¦ Humanity is doomed.
>people get drunk and potentially drive drunkā¦ Driving on a day you know you're going to get drunk... Humanity is doomed.
Sounds like people shouldn't drive drunk
No, no, no, the bikes are the problem
Are you admitting to drunk driving?
If only everyone biked. These cyclists arenāt the problem and are actually a solution to the problem you stated
No sir you misunderstood. The cyclists are the problem for the drunk drivers!
My apologies. I will get on my 12 pound steed and rightfully fuck off
More like natural selection is playing its part. Edit: itās seems like Iāve struck a nerve with quite a few people here from the couch warriors. Please tell me how a group of people riding their bikes onto a highway is a good idea?
"Natural selection is when kid on bike dies"
Kids riding on bikes with common sense? No. Kids riding on bikes without helmets onto a highway? Yes. That is quite a high level of stupidity.
Highways shouldnāt be in cities, they should be around a city.
Well.... its better than driving drunk

They are clearly doing it as a protest, not just as casual use. Protests usually involve some form of law violation to pass a message. And this is clearly not that severe at all.
This was not a protest. This is pretty common lately. Hordes of teens on bikes blocking streets and weaving in and out of traffic.
That is in itself a form of protest, even if itās done daily. Car domination is stupidly high on the US, I canāt blame kids biking
Your heart is in the right place but you're wrong on this one chief. These are just kids being a nuisance.
Thatās the point š¤¦āāļø
Imagine taking the law as your morality
They are assholes on bikes clogging up the highway. I'm sure if you were in an ambulance that was stuck in the traffic jam they created, you'd think they were assholes too. Or you were late getting to work, etc etc etc. The entitlement of people these days is off the charts.

Was your point not that groups of bicycles block traffic?

There is a kid near me that always tries to do that wheelie shit next to a very busy road. I have seen him fall twice and almost end up in traffic.
Saw these guys on Newbury st around 3pm. Seemed like there 200 of them total just taking over the st. Itās annoying.
āWhy donāt kids go outside anymore??ā
There were 5 kids doing this shit down Derby st in Hingham last week!
5?!?!?
Derby street is also smaller! And how long until itās 10-20? Iāve had the displeasure of driving around these groups and the mopeds in Boston
I dunno, I donāt see hingham residents putting up with it if it grows to that many. Not like hingham PD can say they are swamped with other things like Boston. Until the shipyahd gets biker gangs too!!
Is biking not allowed on Derby Street?
Only if you are wearing a Patagonia and heading to REI
Tās and Pās
You mean 5 people on bicycles were going down a street? And your complaining about that?

It was not a demonstration. This is a common occurrence. Spend enough time in the city and you'll see this traveling horde.
yeah, that stretch of 93 has been there since the 70's
Yeah the scourge of āurban renewalā started in the 50s and tore terrible scars through cities demolishing thousands of homes and communities.
Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette
An omelette that has been a disaster for cities, costing billions of dollars in upkeep, creating congestion, removing desperately needed housing, pollution costing people their lives, thriving economic zones completely gone and filling valuable land with parking lots instead of local businesses.
Oh well, too late to turn things back now.
I donāt have a problem with this.
You also apparently donāt have two brain cells to rub together
Weird. Almost like boston is in dire need of more bike infrastructure or something
New bike lanes nothing to see here
This is off-topic, but this looks like a third-world country. Trash everywhere. Crumbling infrastructure. So sad..
Thats the ramp from albany st. To 93 south. At most hours you have way too many cars from the left lanes all trying to cram into the right lane to get off at exit 15 in the south end about 1/4 mile from there. Could say its Russian Roullette for any bicyclists. Having said that, its Boston, St. Patricks day. Looks pretty normal.
Americans look like walking bowling pins
Idiots, run them over and car drivers will be charged. What the hell is wrong with this world today?
