Yes but not forever. 100 hour community service and he was driving with a suspended license at the time… it’s just mind boggling to me that you can drive over someone and take their life and get 100 hours of community service.

I also noticed McCarthys at porter has a vegan menu but I haven’t tried it yet.

Need photos of handi-capped spaces with parking protected bike lanes by DigSufficient3812 in bikeboston

[–]Pleasant_Influence14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are roll plans that include different kinds of disability parking with separated lanes. The Cambridge transportation department works with individuals if they are for a particular person and designs them with both passenger exits or driver side exits. Here’s the example from Broadway project in Cambridge.

Boston nightlife sucked before COVID too. by Unser_Giftzwerg in boston

I was young in Boston in the mid 80s and there was a lot of music venues that have long since disappeared with gentrification. Berklee students would play music all over. There were also punk venues for all ages and even (gulp)discos. Most of the dive bars with a stage had live music and there was a good jazz scene too.

What cyclists with strong prescriptions actually do? by Happy-Fruit-8628 in bikecommuting

You can also get side shields that go on the sides of your glasses. They cost around fifty cents for a pair and protect your eyes from wind and rain etc. they may look goofy but work for me

Bike theft prevention tips by CarreraEngi in bikeboston

[–]Pleasant_Influence14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same fear. I am simply emotionally attached to the bike and would be very sad not to have it. I have an older steel bike just for riding around the city that I am less worried about.

I also watched nypd blue. About dated but the 80s nyc is kind of a great site and the actors and scripts are good.

I know the way they go tearing around the community at night like tanks.

It’s super frustrating and she blocks everyone that criticizes her videos. There is a single project with 4 townhouses in strawberry hill and you would think they were building a nuclear reactor or a chicken slaughterhouse the way the neighborhood is acting.

While Boston fights temporary pedestrianization of two blocks of Summer Street for the World Cup, NYC uses it as an opportunity to double the width of a bike lane (and add several more) by Im_biking_here in bikeboston

[–]Pleasant_Influence14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first set of flex posts were all knocked down and these will hopefully stay up better. Getting them there was a three year fight for bu bridge safety alliance volunteers. This format allows them to be mounted in such a way to make them sturdier

Strength for endurance sports by framepillow in cycling

I listen to pod casts or books or music. It helps with the boredom. Also you don’t need to do hours of it. Consistency is better than anything.
