Providence is bikeable in that it’s small and you can get from one side to another relatively quickly. It is not very bike friendly. Not a ton of bike lanes downtown or surrounding neighborhoods. I would recommend the east bay bike bath to get a nice bay view and look back at the city, there is a hearty hill to climb to get there. There is also a nice walkway down by the canal that is bike friendly. Rhode island drivers are.. a special bunch.

As for no gluten, wildflour is great for breakfast. There are lots of great modern restaurants with seafood options due to it being so coastal. most of who have other GF items on the menu.

I don't think there's many places you cant go on bike. Bike lanes are popping up all over. I'd argue it's very bike friendly along with the rest of RI. But I don't bike the city often. What am I missing? What would improve it? I guess you would answer more bike lanes. I guess I see the ones we have as being enough. We should be able to bike without a bike lane present. But it certainly is better with one.

I agree with your statement about RI drivers. We hate driving. Bc we have to deal with other drivers.

It's not just more bike lanes, but protected ones. Given how little drivers care for people on bikes, a faded painted line provides no protection. And I say this as someone who mostly drives.

Gotcha. I guess seeing them pop up around the city makes me feel like it's moving in that direction. But the drivers don't help and it's mostly a thing for people to complain about
