Bike works in Swansea or Stedmans in Wakefield. It’s possible NBX in Narragansett does fittings but I’m not sure.

Anecdotally, Providence is super loud. I came from Boston where I live in a bunch different neighborhoods and it was never as loud as Providence. Even living on hope st Providence is incredibly loud practically all night. It would be great to reduce the level of ambient noise but I can’t imagine solving an abstract problem is going to happen when seeming moly simple problems like fixing the roads never happens.

Getting funding for an established business through crowdfunding is really sketchy. If a business with years of financial records can’t access a small amount of capital through traditional means, they’re clearly in a lot of trouble. It’s disingenuous to seek out investment from the community without a clear understanding of the financial position of the business.

We’re in south Kingstown and it’s pretty good. The special educators have been really excellent but, like everywhere, there aren’t enough resources. It’s also tough to differentiate for everyone when class sizes are so large and they’re lacking resources. There is also a correlation between how much time and energy you can spend putting pressure on the school in a non-adversarial way and the level of support you get. Our son has been successful here and we love the town.

Ride4beers on Strava has weekly rides on Friday night. RINEMBA has rides Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. Join Intergalactic MTB on Facebook for Wednesday night rides. Participate in a few of those group rides and you’ll meet plenty of people. Also, it’s hunting season so you have to wear 200 square inches of blaze orange everywhere but Lincoln woods.

I have ridden my bike through the main URI campus and the bay campus and it’s pretty amazing how bad the bay campus buildings are comparatively. Just from the outside, as a casual observer, it’s clear that part of campus needs to be revamped.
