Bikes Vs. Babies

This past weekend, Les and I biked the MS Society's Cape Cod Getaway charity ride. After conquering 150 miles in 2 days, and helping our team - Velox Rota - collectively raise more than $100,000 for MS research and care, we should have been feeling pretty darn good. But for the second time, our rider's high was squashed by the MBTA's ridiculous no-bikes on the Green Line policy. Even though it was 10pm on a Sunday night, and Les had given every last ounce of energy she had to the ride, MBTA employees refused to let her on the T; forcing her to instead bike home in the dark with all her gear.

Enough is enough.

Since my (MANY) angry letters to the T have gone unanswered over the years, I have decided that it's time for a new approach. Maybe the idiots that made this policy will have an easier time understanding a graphical argument for allowing bikes on the Green Line...
