Are you serious about bicycling? I mean more serious than just participating in the latest UHub flame war between bike riders and car drivers or defending Charlestown's bike lanes. The Boston Cyclists Union is looking to add new board members. They want committed bike advocates with experience with volunteering and fundraising.
