Good feedback, thanks!

>Either way your problem is going to be anything inside of 295, which will be pretty dense with traffic on any decent through roads.

This sounds ominous. I know exactly what you're talking about, the phenomenon is the same around most cities.

And it'll be near the end of my day, with nearly 100 under my belt, which means I may make stupid decisions out of fatigue.

>You're making me want to go explore this!

lol, report back! I'm glad this is turning into a team effort.

>As for ticks, I've never had issues. I mean it can't hurt to do a tick check at the end of the day but I have never found one on me unless I'm bushwhacking through the woods on foot.

Good to know! But Lyme disease is from Connecticut and I don't know how rough those "road closed", dotted line trails on Google are, so I'm especially wary. I also a ride a roadie with 700 x 27 tires, so I have to be open to the possibility of being on foot at some point if the trail turns too rough.

I suppose one day of Picardin use wouldn't be bad, just as a safeguard.

Just in time to move into a tent outside wanskuck park, perfect

What bullshit

People who don't stay here we need HELP BADLY. Amos House employees are going through the personal belongings of people who left the Armory and they call it '''SHOPPING AT MIDNIGHT''????? WTF?? These people who work here are not helping us here. We're lucky to get a 8oz cup of water when we used to get a bottle at a time. We have to get changed in a Porter John with piss and feces all in the floors of them. We're lucky to have a shower twice a week and the food forget about it we're getting food poisoning so thank God for SNAP benefits. Please if someone reads this PLEASE WE NEED HELP REAL HELP not from ex-drug addicts working for Amos House. They get donations and of course they get 1st picks on anything and everything that comes in the building. I'm sure that all the money that was to help us here is getting skimmed off the top. Please Help Us

No! Wrong!

First of all, look around; This isn’t a court case. Y’all can fuck off with hearsay all together. I heard from a guy I know whose wife told him you fuck dogs. That’s hearsay and I can still say it whenever I feel like.

In court:

“I saw her say X” is admissible testimony.

“My friend said she said X” is hearsay, which is not admissible evidence in court.

Without the video evidence being provided, how could it be substantiated? It would be hearsay.

When someone says they're "moving from Philadelphia", it doesn't mean they're "comfortable anywhere in Philadelphia". The OP may even be from the suburbs.

Thank god our politicians are hard at work on that AWB.

Avoid the area near the hospital. It's the ghetto.

The East End

Congrats man you did it and are doing it still

Tiverton, RI is a cute place to check out. I love Coastal Roasters and the little beach nearby.

Hope neighborhood is very chill and has some a little shopping area with great restaurants. There’s usually a farmers market in Hope park on weekends in the spring and summer. It’s close to Thayer which has some rly great food (Shaking Crab and Heng Thai 🤤) and a little movie theatre. It’s also not far at all from downtown and the bus runs through it. Would very much recommend. Oh Federal Hill seems like a fun place to live, also. It’s littered with shops and cafes throughout. A must try from that area is Jade Tree Asian Bistro.

Ding ding ding!

Check Edgewood in Cranston for ease of Hasbro-Childrens access

Nice wide streets

and general RI "8 minute drive" ability

Lucky Enough

Dude. Take the mask offf. You look ridiculous

Incredible. So glad you’re in a better place!

Oh maybe that connection is rideable based on those google maps pics! Where it comes into the paved part at the Log Bridge Road parking lot it's pretty rough (I remember gravel and mud) but I was also not that eager to go exploring so didn't pursue it. But it looks doable (and if Strava Heat Map suggest people do it that's even more evidence) and if it isn't you can connect by road on 117 without issue. You're making me want to go explore this!

As for ticks, I've never had issues. I mean it can't hurt to do a tick check at the end of the day but I have never found one on me unless I'm bushwhacking through the woods on foot.

Nice! It’s a little out of the way and it’s pretty big so there’s usually plenty of room there. Cheap beer, too

Ended up doing Snookers and it worked out great. Got there a little early and we got a high top table by the bar right in front of the big screen. Easy peasy!

Anywhere on the east side is great especially fox point and Wayland there’s workout studios, restaurants, bars and easy to walk and bike. The west side is also great especially Broadway and the dexter park neighborhood. You’ll love it here it’s a very charming city and you can’t beat RI in the summer

Our family has lived in this area for 20+ years. Close to the hospitals; close to downtown; easy public transportation.

Biggest downside might be getting to South County beaches in the summer. However, RI has a lot of beaches 😉.

Yes, this is a weird problem unfortunately. Even the East Coast Greenway takes a seemingly completely unnecessary bump north in Eastern CT. If I had to guess it's because there aren't many safe for bikes ways to cross both the Thames and Connecticut Rivers. I found it very difficult to plan a route when I was trying to do a coastal trip from Providence to NYC.

FTR the Greenway itself goes south from Pomfret to Moosup then East across Sterling into Coventry and picks up the Cranston/Washington Secondary path, your Option 3. It is well marked due to being part of the Greenway, if that helps.

For your actual question - on option 1 44 is actually fine other than a couple spots if you are a confident cyclist. You might feel better deferring a little south to 101 then pick your way to avoid Rt. 6. Either way your problem is going to be anything inside of 295, which will be pretty dense with traffic on any decent through roads.

I might check the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen's maps page for rides as they usually pick good roads. If you contact them they might help you out as well.
