Hell yeah. Orland is also prime. My go to was a quick out and back up Ohio st. via Valley ave. Out to Lagrange and beyond when i was lucky. Or just a grind through the graveyard and up rt 2 to Orono, at least there was a decent breakdown lane.

Its not just the number of drivers thats different in bangor vs Portland, its the type. People in Bangor seem to recognize that you too are a local resident and deserve respect. In Portland they only pay lip service to DEI and civil rights while going all in on NIMBYism and endgangering cyclists and pedestrians by driving like massholes.

Edit: i rode pushaw once...only once.
