Have you considered most people aren’t just biking for the hell of it and need it for transportation?

I'm really fascinated by this - why exactly are you here? What do you hope to gain by posting in a subreddit for a city you hate, insulting talking about how much you hate the city? I'm sorry to hear that you're stuck living somewhere you dislike this much. But I don't really understand what we can do for you.

Aren’t you the same guy who has been spamming the Boston area pages with rants about why you hate Boston and why Texas is so much better? go get a life.

you do realize we can see your post history, which includes a bunch of posts complaining about the city of Boston.

You love Texas. That’s great. But posting repeatedly about your personal hatred of the city gets you nowhere and served no purpose.

Okay but this wasn’t even Boston. This was residential Cambridge.

  • Houston and Dallas BOTH have higher crime rates than Boston or Cambridge.

  • the Boston area has significantly more biking infrastructure than Texas, fewer households have cars in Cambridge/Boston, and a much larger percentage of the population bikes regularly in Cambridge.

  • “friendly” is relative, but I certainly haven’t found people friendlier in Texas when I’ve spent time there. And the politics of Texas means there’s a lot more active discrimination against certain genders and groups there, which I wouldn’t consider “friendly”

if you’re going to take such aggressive stances, maybe at least google it first

There may be less traffic in Sterling, but they are all doing 50 mph around blind corners with no shoulders. Cycling would be much risker

Your post to r/CambridgeMA had misinformation about COVID19, which is not allowed
