He will be running for city council based on his heroic action I assume.

Exactly! Pedestrians need to get out of the way when the Sainted Cyclists come. Nothing and noone else matter. Except the Doordash guys dropping off your small coffees.

Yeah, OK.

Love that you can look at cambridge PD reports and see that pedestrians are sent to the hospital almost on a daily basis after getting hit by cars, yet this is somehow some major scandal. typical.

Not really. You can already tell a lot about the bike. Looks fixed. Front and back fenders, narrow AF flat handlebars. That bike shouldnt be too hard to spot in the wild.

A bicyclist didnt follow the traffic laws, nothing new

Its more like an ad hominem attack on the sub. Thus the downvotes.

You may think that the downvotes you're getting confirms your opinion that people on this sub are upset at the pedestrian, but rest assured, you're getting downvoted for an ad hominem statement that generalizes all cyclists.

IMO we should build out bike specific facilities like a dense network of separated bike paths to get these psychos off our streets!

You can be a piece of shit regardless of your mode of transit. Nobody should be defending this guy, and also there’s nothing about how normal people bike that has anything to do with this asshole.

Posting that picture is perfunctory and serves no purpose other than to say that they posted a picture.

I hope they catch him.

As a Cambridge resident for 22 years you are right.

Let the down votes start

Edit: only -12 votes? The Cambridge bike mafia can do better than that. Fyi, I'm a bikerin Cambridge myself and an embarrassed at how over 90% of them ride. No regard for the rules of the road unless it suites them. I don't want to hear about how bad cars are when I see bikers run red lights daily. We are talking about how this Ahole biker assaulted someone.

Though I’m sure being assaulted is rare, getting almost hit in a crosswalk by a bicyclist isn’t…

Based on my past experience in this sub, people are going to be upset at the pedestrian.

I love A&C and I live in Inman but I actually wouldn’t recommend it for A&C. I think they really need to be as close as possible major T stop and/or a place with major foot traffic where people go anyway to do other shopping. Blick is already in Central Sq and I can’t see people walking 15 min to Inman when there’s so much product overlap.

Gatherhere in Inman seems to do well but they are very niche (stylish, high end) and have classes. It’s worth it to people to go way out of their way. I worry that for art supplies, people will just go to a Blick location or shop online rather than getting themselves to Inman.

I’m sure the A&C company doesn’t need me to say all this. They’ve got over 20 locations so they know that they’re doing. I wish Inman could sustain A&C!

I really hope you guys find a way to stay in the general camberville area!! :-)

Oh no, love you guys and great having you right near Graffiti Alley! Contact Denise from the Harvard Square Business Association or the Central Square BID or Cambridge Chamber of commerce for ideas on new locations. Maybe MIT would sponsor you?

I hope things do work out! Losing A&C (permanently) would be very sad indeed! It’s my favorite arts/crafts store by a wide margin.

Good luck, rooting for you, and I’ll definitely stop by in the new year and make a giant purchase

Michael's is in the Porter Square shopping mall but they are not targeting the same market. If I remember correctly the current location of the store was the location of the Cambridge Food Coop in the 1980's.

This is such a relief. A&C has always soothed my soul! Crossing my fingers for you all ❤️

The rent is too damn high!

He was the really well known one back in the day.

I've sent you a DM!
