📰 News we're reading

• Massachusetts 'e-bike library' lets residents borrow cargo bikes free for a week before buying (thecooldown.com) — Brookline residents can now borrow a cargo e-bike for free for a week through Community Pedal Power's new Brookline Hills branch, helping families test whether biking can replace some car trips. Volunteers match you with one of 30 e-bikes, provide safety guidance, and may expand the fleet based on local demand and funding.
   

• Here's When Mosquitoes Will Go Away in Massachusetts (wbsm.com) — Brookline is currently listed among the Massachusetts communities at high risk for West Nile virus, so local residents should still be using repellent and covering up outdoors. Mosquito activity should taper off in October or after the first hard freeze, but warm days and a rainy summer can keep them active longer. Simple precautions now can reduce bites and disease risk.
