Grocery shopping is the only time I use my car on a regular basis. Dealing with bus routes and scheduling is just not worth the trouble. Come spring, I'm hoping to add some storage on my bike.

Have you ever gone food shopping by bus? It's not fun.

You'll probably have a significant walk on one or both ends (hope you have a good folding cart). That assumes your house and the store are within walking distance of the same bus route.

You have a limited choice of stores. Porter Star Market is ok, Market Basket or Trader Joe's not so much.

And even a route that's frequent by T standards like the 77 can easily leave you waiting 15-20 minutes.

That's why I got a bike. But that doesn't work for everyone.

Real walkable cities have affordable grocery stores right there in all residential neighborhoods. Like Cambridge used to.

On the plus side, having the Daily Table, Target, and H-Mart right there near transit in Central is a positive change. I hope we can see more of this.

She's lucky no one has kicked her dogs to get them to stop

It's absolutely realistic to manage all routine needs within a 10mile radius for most people by bike. I'm just an average person and I do so! Nothing special - honestly, like the post, I didn't realize it was realistic until I started doing it because of the oppressive cult of car culture. But, it's absolutely doable for nearly everyone.

And lose the remaining, driving, customer base to Twist Bakery, which offers a larger variety and better baked goods.

In the context of her original post, it’s not realistic for people who have responsibilities outside the city/area to change transportation methods immediately when they get back to the city. Mostly referring to her forth point.

Nothing in her statements is wrong.

It’s funny how your little child ego always resorts to that dumb comeback

Ooooo good one bub

Did conservatives just freeze at elementary school level emotional development? It’s fascinating

Funny part is she’s the one who’s triggered, we got our bike lanes and it’s fuckin great. Cry bout it

Exactly

I rode my bike to work yesterday.

Lee?

If only there were bikes with wider tires. Idk why they wouldn't make such a bike... Maybe even stick an electric motor on one of those, some fenders and a rear rack so you could ride it year round.

I don't know but it's hard to contemplate bicycle wars in late January. The troops should call a truce when the ground is frozen.

So busy running a bakery that never has customers!

It’s because she’s a dumb asshole

But you obviously missed that

And Somerville, and Brookline, and most of Boston. And especially if you want to go east-west through Camberville or across the river.

Nextdoor. The cesspool of the internet.

She is a menace to society

> Fourth, maybe people who dislike cars should take on more responsibilities and obligations

Wow, some real "Ok Boomer" energy there...

They also roost together on trees here in Cambridge. Seen a bunch of turkeys on a tree across from Baldwin playground on Oxford St. last winter, and one turkey _very_ high up on a tree near Graham & Parks more recently.

Wait until she finds out about buses...

It's like a car, but it's bigger and you walk to it, and then get off and walk to where you want to go... like say a gluten-free bakery.

Trains are the same... but bigger and don't run in traffic... except in Brookline.
