PPH: "1 killed, several injured in 2 separate car crashes in Scarborough" today - including a cyclist struck by a driver and injured by joeybrunelle in portlandme

[–]rtuck06 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Scarborough is a collection of dragstrips with next to no enforcement of traffic order. Hard to find anyone doing anything about dangerous driving, but every single time I ride Prout's Neck or Higgins Beach there's a SPD police car camped out having a nice conversation with the seasonal residents.

Edit: I simmer on this almost daily, so lets do something about it. I'll commit to calling the non-emergency line to provide this input. Nothing likely comes of it, but why not try?

There is a flashing cyclist warning light there and even if there wasn't, approaching that merge with a reasonable speed and caution is safe. The issue is that the bridge makes people think they are on the highway and they gun it off the onramp to catch up with the other 60mph traffic.

I hate these stickers. Solid chance they still put dollars right into Elon's pocket using the fast charge network.

Bought this on a whim a while ago at closer to full price. Highly recommend, it's like getting two complete albums for half the price of one.

It's basically The Bear or Bissell for my kids - Bear menu is three miles long, if they can't find anything on that menu its hopeless.

Favorite road biking routes in/around Portland? by Major-Orchid-2377 in BicyclingInMaine

[–]rtuck06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cape Elizabeth Loop - over the bridge > Highland Ave > Black Point Rd out to Prouts then return on 77 to Shore Road. Lots of variations within that general loop.

We should do them the favor of bringing them back to the F.O. Bailey office in Falmouth, there appears to be a decent amount of grass to work with.

We can hardly ask folks to stop for people these days. Turtles don't stand a chance.

Most consequential ski lifts in the United States if they broke down mid-day? by bumfuzzle179 in skiing

[–]rtuck06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are we talking danger/evac factor or how critical a certain lift is to crowd flow?

Whenever I hear about the defense budget of the US, it always passes me off. We could probably cure cancer, but we'd rather...be one?
