Starting shortly before midnight on Saturday August 10, 2013 and continuing until after dawn on Sunday the 11^th the Back Bay Midnight Pedalers held their 25^th annual Boston By Bike at Night ride. In honor of the 25^th ride we took a special ride that including a trip up the Zakim Bridge. As a result, the ride was both larger and shorter than several previous rides.

This year, I brought my good camera in the hopes of getting some good pictures of the bridge. Unfortunately, I was caught between shooting with a flash and losing the entire background, and shooting without the flash and ending up with a blurry shot. Click on any image to bring up a larger version. In a number of photos, I took a long exposure without a flash, but someone (or several people) nearby took a picture with a flash, leading to some interesting double-exposure type photos.
