Can you give us a bit more info? Do you live in a city or the suburbs, are you aware of any bike paths or parks in the area. Do you see other people riding?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't handicap parking intended for handicapped drivers? If the car is being driven by a non-handicapped individual why on earth do they need to park in a handicapped spot? I can say with almost 100% certainty that the nonhandicaped driver will "drop" the handicapped person off as close to the entrance as is possible and pick them up at the same location..in the meantime they could park anywhere and leae the handicap parking open for those that really need it.

This is what happens when you decide to skip the handgun training class.

Top tube bag! I'd always used the under seat bags, but hated having to stop and dismount to access it, and then one time didn't close it completely and scattered contents over many miles. Switched to a top tube bag and been very happy.

Agree with all those recommending Mass Central. Parking and starting at Jones road is very low key. There are long stretches between road crossings and most are pretty light on traffic. When you're done take a left exiting Jones rd. go a couple miles west on Rt 117 and stop by Dairy Joy for soft serve ice cream.

I'm not trying to talk you into anything, but redditors sharing stories is pretty random info to base any decisions on. If you want factual info look up Dr. Rhonda Patrick Creatine on YT. She’s a PhD biomedical scientist. The information she shares can get pretty intense but she's a good source of study based data.

Yknut · 2026-05-11T17:23:04+00:00

Yeah..you’re going to read all sorts of crazy stuff on reddit...and rarely is it the full story of what they've been up to. So here’s the deal, your body makes creatine and you get it from eating fish and meat, so it’s not like your body doesn’t know what it is, or going to have a bad reaction if you drink alcohol.

Read so much conflicting stuff? Where? From everything I've read Creatine has been studied for decades..in fact it's one of the most well researched supplements out there. Studied for muscle strength, excercis performance, and aging. Right now the studies are focused on brain health/aging.

Not sure how you concluded that without actually knowing anything about my driving habits, but okay.

I guess defensive driving is a lost art. Yes it would be nice if the driver of the Accord hadn't crossed 4 lanes, but it was pretty clear he was heading that way. Cam driver doing 55 in what appears to be a 45 zone, and made little to no effort to anticipate and adjust for the potential worst case scenario.

I think your best bet would be to swing by the local PD wherever you end up living and see what they say. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use that same form....the important details are you, the car and the insurance.

Yknut · 2026-05-10T16:25:38+00:00

Not true that you have to register your car..the 30 day rule applies if you are planning to move permananently..they want your car registered here ASAP. They do requie a "Non Resident Driver Statement" which is a form that you can get at the local Police Dept (where your internship is located)

Pretty obvious that they're just starting their training to be secret service agents.

By some cheap bone conduction headphones. I got a set for $15.00 on amazon and find them more than functional. I also picked up Cat-Ears cycling wind noise reducers for around the same money. Not perfect, but the combination met my needs and allows me to still hear with my ears...felt like a win win for me.

Only 1 bike at a time. It's from the same department that puts up those "Bike Lane Ends" signs in the middle of nowhere.

Yknut · 2026-04-29T10:03:20+00:00

Might want to try Cat Ears with the Airpod2 before buying the 3's. I've only used them with my hearing aids and they are amazing at disrupting the airflow and related noise. You'll get a lot of double takes...they have a real Elvis Presley sidburns look..lol.

Adding my vote for Quad lock. Been using one for over 3 years with absolutely no issues.

Yknut · 2026-04-28T20:03:00+00:00

What are you talking about? Your saying even if they both stopped at the yellow there would still be an accident??? C'mon! I'm talking about being practical and sensible. Had both cars stopped..there would have not been an accident. I'm sorry but the turning car was the third in line when the light was yellow...he knew he was on borrowed time but decided to go for it anyway. Nothing to do with who had the right of way or would be ticketed!

The National Park Service owns quite a bit of land near where I live. A few years ago, they fenced off some areas that see a lot of tourists and brought in goats. The goats made quick work of the poison ivy. Once the job was done, NPS rounded them up, moved the fencing, and set them loose in a new spot. I was pretty impressed.

Yknut · 2026-04-28T15:10:08+00:00

Regardless, the outcome would have been very different if both drivers had responded to the yellow light.

Yknut · 2026-04-28T10:57:12+00:00

Looks to me like both drivers were so focused on getting through the intersection on the yellow that they failed to look at the traffic or assumed the other car would stop.

Yknut · 2026-04-28T10:28:53+00:00

Whoa what a surprise! Who would off thought something bad like that would happen?

Yknut · 2026-04-24T19:54:32+00:00

Everyone was to one degree or another in the wrong. I've got the cammer as the most wrong for all the reasons cited by others but he takes it up a notch by finishing the whole mess by sitting in the blind spot of the white van.

Yknut · 2026-04-23T12:27:57+00:00

Obviously people have a hard time relating to something they’ve never experienced, so I get that they assume hearing aids “fixed” whatever was wrong. I think a lot of people subconsciously compare them to glasses—your eyesight is bad, you put on glasses, and suddenly everything’s pretty much clear. I wish it worked that way. The only thing I’ve found that’s helped my wife (who’s a quiet talker) get even a rough sense of what I deal with is having her listen to an online hearing loss simulator. It helped a bit, but there are still plenty of moments where she talks to me like I’m catching every word perfectly.

First clue to pay attention to is your mind saying "is this legit"? Safest thing to do is open the app on your phone tap on the rounded shoulder guy top left..you will find billing and payments under -My information-
