There it is!

I met Scul at Burning Man last year.

Midnight Ridazz now has a relationship with them. They are rad!

I peeped the scene when I was down there for a conference for a couple of days this March. Went to a party thrown by these peeps http://embrocation.blogspot.com/, also go to http://www.cambridgebicycle.com/ and talk to the mechanics there, they know the local scene pretty well.

The Quad bike shop, its a co-op on harvards campus. Dirt cheap, just like the Kitchen over here. Ive seen them tinkering with tall bikes there too.

i'm depressed because the weather has been shitastically rainy for the past 1.5 months, among other things....OKAY!!!

and no, there's nothing that's totally similar to MR here, at least not that i've found. i've seen a few bunch of MR-ish rides, but it doesn't seem to be a centralized thing.

there was a ride kind of like bicykillers last year via bostonfixed. it was super fun, but due to work etc i only went once. i also saw a daytime halloween ride last year -- the riders said it was organized by the bike shop. bostonbiker.org and bikes not bombs has some stuff. the otherside cafe is a biker/hipster central (like a crappy, more hipster version of pure luck) and i believe i saw flyers promoting their rides. boston critical mass is fun. it's a truly leaderless ride.

ooh, also heads up, there's this ride in early august that goes from midnight to 8am or so. it's education/history based, but being delirious at 4am is fkin great. i went last year and it was truly awesome: http://www.mit.edu/~jweiss/BBMP/

see you on the streets.

(and bike polo <> MR)

I've always found it wicked hard to track down Scul. Their website is just as elusive with no easy way to reach someone (unless they changed it since last year). i agree, try the local shops and get the deets that way. And if you are more of a spandex roadie and looking for a good group to ride with, check out Quad cycles on Mass Ave. They ride every weekend. (Day time rides).
