[*BCM*] bicycle-friendly Boston

[blueberrypeas at gmail.com]

  Hi,

 I've just discovered Cricitcal Mass and I was curious to know what,
if any, mission you hope to accomplish by riding en masse once a
month.  What are your thoughts on road maintenances, existing and
proposed bike paths, the need for more bike racks in the city, the
possibility of bike lanes?  I'm new to Boston and am curious to know
if the city has addressed any bikers' concerns, or if it has been
paying more attention to bikers' concerns in the past decade?  Any
comment or bit of information is appreciated. Thanks.
