That's entirely paved, isn't it? How far do I need to go for an unpaved trail?

If you're down for longer trail rides, the Minuteman Trail, starting up by Alewife is a lot of fun!

And as far as I can tell, there's no way to report mod abuse to Reddit admins.

>But then why not add new mods
Then he has less power to make arbitrary rules based on fake stories.

I like my trash trucks. They bring me comfort. Banned.

Let's get rid of all roads and replace them with a series of hydraulic tubes. While we're at it, let's get some catapults and fling our trash into outer space.

I agree with the scooters but I think we should use Swagtron instead, so you're banned.

Pop a wheelie in the S&S parking lot.

I think we should make both bikes and cars illegal and make everyone ride razor scooters.

The driver nearly hit me last week when they sped up instead of slowing down at a crosswalk

Memorial drive is great on the weekends! No cars to worry about, although a bit short.
Minutemen trail is good too if you're willing to go a bit out of Cambridge.

The new protected bike lanes on Mass Ave in North Cambridge are really great progress, and I'm looking forward to the city extending them all the way into Harvard Square. It'll make getting around a lot safer and prevent accidents.
I'm also hoping that Memorial Drive continues to be bike and pedestrian only on Saturdays and Sundays in the warmer months--and would love to see that extended all the way down to MIT. It's great for bikers and pedestrians.

>I thought Cambridge was progressive city.
Doesn't mean there aren't plenty of assholes in the city. (And who knows if the moderator still lives here anyway.) The single rule maker in a community is stifling debate because he's got an unpopular and incorrect opinion.

Wow, TIL r/cambridgema has only one moderator and they’re a narcissist clown.

For serious, banning a topic in a subreddit as retaliation to an IRL cyclist that has nothing to do with Reddit is pretty gross.

10 bucks the mod was trying to cut over to the right turn lane onto Comm Ave on the BU bridge and didn't check his blindspot or used blinkers and almost killed the cyclist going striaght, explaining why the cyclist was livid and mod was oblivious claiming he didn't do anything
Just a reminder, this mod also doesn't believe in science/evolution among other things

The r/CambridgeMA subreddit is really odd. I've had perfectly bland posts held up for moderation for days, until I message the mods.
If it's just one mod, I get it, it's hard to make sure this doesn't turn into spam. But then why not add new mods, and/or leave most of the work to the automoderator?

Banning bike related posts from a massively pro-cycling city, especially because of a personal issue, is nonsense.
Sorry mod, you probably deserved it.
This sub can kick rocks.

Dude had a bike post, knew he would get shit on, and decided his would be the last word. Lmao

I'll say this. If one person is the sole arbiter of what's acceptable and decides to use that power to settle scores it's not really a community.
It's one thing to remove/lock inflammatory posts, it's another thing entirely to say something entirely on topic and related to public interest and safety cannot be discussed.

Is posting a bajillion ads for MGH studies on vaping still allowed?
