It's good to know you're there. I'm a stone's throw away in Portland on Forest Avenue. I'm not a commuter but I'm with the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and ride thousands of miles per year all over the state. I was dubbed "Powerhouse" because of the energy reserves enabling me to finish longer rides no matter what the lay of the land.

What makes me shy away from riding in Portland is that I don't quite know how to deal with the heavy traffic here. Perhaps you could give me some tips?

I look forward to hearing from you
