I was on the road and didn’t see them before they stepped out from behind a massive car. A horn would have done nothing. I did purchase a strong bike light than the one I have now. I think also if I was riding more in the center of the lane instead of closer to the right side I would have been easier to see.
I’m surprised that people ride on the sidewalk here though. Pretty unacceptable. I don’t own a car so I only bike, and the amount of defensive riding you have to do when on a bike is insane here

I generally take them out and drill through them.

If underground, it could also serve as a catch basin for flood waters since that area is not far above sea level.

Yeah and the rest gives a nice contrast to the orange and yellow colors

Reply to Miso Paste? by JeffFromNH
I found it! They had both red and white miso at my old go-to - Market Basket in Attleboro. I haven't seen it at the Johnston store.
I got one of each. Kabuto 1lb package for $3.69.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely check out the other recommendations.

Reply to Winter date spots by disbishie
I like the Farmers Markets Saturdays and The Providence Flea Sundays (and sometimes Fri eves) at Farm Fresh RI. In fact, my SO and I had our first date there.
There are places to eat and drink nearby. Pizza, coffee, and industrious spirits.
Also, check out what's going on at Waterfire Arts Center, a relatively short walk (or drive) away. Most exhibits are free, but you can help support them by donations or buying stuff in the gift shop.

Yes you're right, for some reason when I read this I assumed he had stopped and apologized and helped her up but just continued to feel bad and had to post it on here. But they gave no indication that they actually did stop and after rereading it it does sound more like a hit and run. It's never okay, I wasn't trying to excuse their behavior I just assumed they already had apologized and was trying to allow OP to forgive themselves because accidents do happen.

Wtf: hit and run is never okay.
Last night I was in the same general area walking my dog and some bike riders were going stupid-fast for the conditions -- including one guy riding on the sidewalk at a high rate of speed. It was nuts.
In 30 years here I've never seen both drivers and bicyclists operating as negligently as they routinely do now.
Unlike the pedestrians in OP's post, I am super vigilant. Still, I've been halfway across in a crosswalk at a four-way stop in broad daylight and come close to being hit more than once.
OP, get a horn. At least give pedestrians warning that you're coming and can't stop. You can cause life-changing injuries that a free pizza won't fix.

….. why didn’t you stop, apologize, and check if they were ok in the moment? You hit-and-ran and now you want them to give them a pizza?? WTF…… (?!??) 👎🏻

Waterfire is always the best time to take pictures in providence! But you can also start with the state house when it’s lit with different colors

This also has a great Indiana Jones and the temple of doom vibe.

It’s not huge so I wouldn’t Chuck a display in there but phones and smaller stuff for sure.

Beautiful!! I live in Connecticut, maybe 30 minutes from Providence. As a matter of fact, the RI border is about 2 miles away from my home. I’ve been to providence dozens of times in my life. I’ve always wanted to shoot the city, but was never sure of where to start.

I'm bummed I volunteered months ago to light the fires in the last day and it got rained out. What a cool event though!

This is very thoughtful of you. I hope they're okay and I hope you're feeling okay too, at least you weren't driving a car
