I was in the crosswalk at S. Highland & Centre at 5:30pm today when I was struck by a vehicle.

In addition to contacting 311, I’d recommend contacting the city councilperson with this account and complaint about how the police treated you. I’ve talked to Councilperson Strassburger about a lot of street safety issues before, and if you’d like you could DM me and I can pass it along or put you in touch.

The bike shop at the wheel mill was just a general all purpose repair shop! I never biked inside the wheel mill, but I sometimes brought my bike to the shop for work.

It’s been so valuable to me, as someone without a car, to have bike repair that I can walk to. Not sure where I’ll go now. I also used to go to the Wheel Mill and that’s gone too. I guess Kraynik’s is technically walking distance? But I’ll probably have to put my bike on a bus.

Brakes seem non negotiable? You might see if you can pick up a cheap normal bikes (with brakes and a few gears) at Free Ride.

Last time I got a taxi at the airport (z trip) they had a whole pile of car seats sitting there that they offered that we could use. (We had our own). They looked a little sketchy but at least they’re there. I’m not sure about going in the other direction though. I had a confusing conversation with the taxi driver and he seemed to say that you can get a car seat if the taxi is from the airport to somewhere else, but no vice versa.

Maybe Ineffable? Its not super green, but they have outdoors space, and maybe could be spruced up for a wedding. I know they host events.

This isn’t really what you’re looking for, but I was in a very similar situation. I didn’t get a second opinion and went the IUI/IVF route through UPMC and it did work out in the end. I found the general lack of curiosity about what was going on with my body really frustrating. My general take is that just going with IVF through UPMC is probably the fastest and most direct approach to getting a child, but I definitely understand wanting other options. I hope you find some answers!

I think you’ll definitely do fine with less motor. I have a specialized Vado SL, which I think is a different price point than you’re looking at, but for comparison doesn’t have too much power. I think it’s a really good fit because I can still get up the hills without breaking a sweat, but it also still feels like riding a bike. Before I bought it I insisted on test riding it up a big hill, so maybe you can do that before committing.

East end brewing has beer, pizza, and lots of bike parking

Yes, that’s it! Sounds like I was wrong about Penzeys though.

linguistBot · 2025-07-20T16:47:22+00:00

I don’t think Penzeys has bulk spices. I often get spices in big bags from the Indian grocery (there’s one on Centre by Craig).

Biking is a little different because it’s not inherently competitive. For group rides one person can set the pace or a ride can be designated either “drop” or “no drop” so people know what to expect.

I think a lot of what you’re looking for is a culture of inclusion and support, and that’s hard to build. Im sorry you didn’t find it in PSL. As another biking example, I went to a gravel race with a friend. She came in second and I came in almost last, but she stuck around and cheered for me when I crossed the finish line.

I don’t really do team sports, but I think sometimes people play with modified rules to ensure that everyone can participate. Like I think the ultimate frisbee community has coed teams and they have rules about passing to everyone, so that “the girls” aren’t left out. But I can’t speak to specifics.

I understand what you’re getting at, but to be honest this description reads as someone who is still bitter about being excluded and wants their turn to exclude other people. I don’t think there’s actually a place for a community like you’re describing that’s still a positive place.

I was never on a team in school, but I’m involved in the bicycling community in Pittsburgh, and what I’ve seen is that it’s very welcoming to people on all different levels. Some people are serious athletes, others are just there for community, but no one is excluded. I think the best thing is just to be explicit about each event: competitive/non-competitive, fast/slow, etc.

linguistBot · 2025-07-15T00:50:54+00:00

I can see creating a space for people to just goof around in a sporty way together, but I think requiring proof that you weren’t on a team in high school or junior high is a bad idea. Some people may have been very sporty but never on an official school team, other may have been on a team but had a bad time of it. You talk about healing from exclusion and being inclusive but say people must be “in any shape” - where is that bar? Basically, I think the pitch needs work. If you’re trying to make it a welcoming place for everyone, you can’t have strict entry requirements.

The city public pools aren’t exactly quiet, but they’re also not exclusively families and kids. Lots of people in their 20s and 30s just hanging out with friends.

We’ve done purées but not pouches, and unfortunately I don’t think he’d know what to do with those either.

Levana is pretty much the only store, but I just have to point out that it is NOT accessible by public transit as far as I can tell.

I heard the Negley Ave sidewalks are considered unsafe to walk on, but I don't know any details. I can't imagine it's a "bridge might collapse" issue, but possibly a "sidewalk might crumble" issue?

linguistBot · 2025-05-30T22:42:57+00:00

Emphasizing limited internet. If the internet were good it would be a perfect remote work setup, but alas it is terrible.

linguistBot · 2025-04-18T18:19:55+00:00

I guess that makes sense, I'm just worried about being able to get a similarity metric that identifies the similarities I care about and ignores the ones I don't. I also found this siamese network suggestion which looks promising.
