hey philjay! the boston scene is decent...if not a bit more elitist. Here everrrrybody rolls fixed, but while you see a gillion conversions back in The Bean the real riderz are distinctly apart from the BU fad crew. Check out Revolution Bicycle Repair, Cambridge Bicycle, and Cambridge bikes sister shop on Brookline ave. near BU. There are some cool heads, one you are accepted into the tribe. There are plenty of ally cats in the spring/summer, and bike polo. We also have a solid forum...and the best part of riding in Boston is the path on the esplanade. It was my daily leisure ride that London makes me miss desperately (not that I don't thoroughly enjoy screaming in a big Boston accent at London rush hour j-walkers, allowing them to live for at least another day).
