1. The Impossible Journey
2 years ago
By bike from Marblehead to Boston, a trip that many think is impossible. With just a little application and lots of old-fashioned courage, I prove it isn't.

Over shorter ranges, the cycle is wonderfully fast - compared to a car, and - best yet, it uses waste time - time spent in the commute - in useful exercise.

It is maddening that politicians and policy-makers have so disadvantaged the North Shore compared to the western suburbs. Just look at Route 2 (for cars) and the Minuteman Trail (for bikes) compared to the Lynnway (unfit for either).

I linked to your video from the Conservancy newsletter which I am in the process of posting to the conservancy web site. (I am the web master in charge of updates to the site.) Very interesting video. In one of my past lives I worked in Lynn at Electric Insurance Company which was located just past the entrance to the GE plant not far before the General Edwards Bridge. I often commuted by bicycle when the weather was good. Yes, it was scary at first, but no, I did not cicycle on the sidewalk.
I also tried cicyling into Boston once or twice when working in Boston. Route 99, yes I figured out that it was the only way to get there by bike. (Except if it was a time when the subway allowed bicycles, then you could take your bike right on the subway car and let it be brought in for you. I never did that, but saw others taking advantage of it.) I tried it on a week-end when the traffic would be manageable, and arrived too exhausted to do much work! But I sure was proud.
Thanks so much for making the video. Felt like I was watching Alton Brown. Did you have your own camera mounted for all the pictures or did someone accompany you to take some of the pics?
