But if you do it somewhere touristy like downtown Boston, there will always be a critical mass of people with no clue walking down the bike lane

>He told me to “STAY TO THE RIGHT!”…like wtf this is a sidewalk, mate.
Was there room for you to be farther right though? Nothing is more annoying than people that just on the wrong side of the sidewalk for no reason, whether they were on a bike or not, obstructing the wrong side of the sidewalk when there's space to make room for others is just shitty behavior too.

Half the C suite at my company bike commute from their wealthy suburbs. The bike ride from Arlington/west Cambridge/Belmont/Winchester to Kendall is pretty manageable with the halfway decent infrastructure we have up here.

The cafe thing is because the 7:30-3 allows them to have a single set of 8 hour shifts. Hard to find part time work and the staggering shifts thing doesn't work well since the busiest part of the day is right at the beginning of the shift.

Reply to comment by Dukeofdorchester in Water st. Downtown Boston. Were the sidewalks built this sloped intentionally or did they extensively settle? by echocomplex
>Boston is 2/3 landfill, so the freeze/thaw cycle really does a number on sidewalks.
Water St is in one of the non landfill parts of the city though, isn't it?

As someone that has worked in neurodegeneration research, the ability to set up trials to actually start treating someone very very early into onset, it would be much easier to see efficacy.

Even this wouldn't really be enough. A lot of the benefits of having family from the upper class come from the better education, connections, and opportunities, not just the money

>Until you bikers get a car and understand then talk all you want lol
I ride a bike, drive a car, run, and walk in the city. Maybe you should try a few modes of transportation too to round out your perspective a little better.

>Pay attention to the road, you're not driving a car.
I like the implication here that if you are driving a car, you don't need to pay attention to the road

I feel like I haven't seen anyone get ticketed for anything around here. There's 0 enforcement ever
