I get what you’re saying, but I still disagree. It’s not like I’m sending it on the sidewalk, when there’s tons of people around.
At say 6 o clock when no one’s on Whitney sidewalks I’m definitely riding there—it’s rush hour for cars and twilight. But if it’s mid day downtown, I’m not going to bike on the sidewalks by the green you know? That would be stupid and selfish.
It’s also not a black and white issue of being selfish by riding on sidewalks. The somewhat limited and sometimes usable infrastructure for bikes around town is piecemeal and haphazard. Like going up Orange St past Humphrey towards Downtown, the bike lane disappears so cars either come too close to a biker, swerve into opposite lane to pass, or just ride your butt. None of those are very smart on a bike if you like not being mangled…

Very bikeable. Stay on sidewalks, I got hit only 2 months ago. Also watch out for pedestrians and other cyclists, lots of people with a deathwish

bump for cafe 9. I go there from time to time to catch a random show, and the music is always decent, if nothign more a good vibe.
also worth mentioning state house, because they got lots of cool tours, plus space ballroom in hamden, wamleg in wallingford for more underground stuff.

I’m down to play. SEM and kinda dodo brain, but still enjoy it. play lots of League lately, thinking of renewing my pain for EFT also.
Shoot me a DM and we can play a couple games!

Thank you. Family is far and friends are few and occupied—so I need something to keep me distracted, if not make me feel like I’m not wasting my time.
Happy holiday to you too.

As the third person to lecture me and say the same thing, you’ve definitely convinced me. I’ll be thinking of you when I’m eating a catalytic converter under a car the next time I get hit while following the rules of the road!
