Llamero, thanks for posting! I run a Bicycle Commuting Meetup group based in the Portland area (although it's online so theoretically one could participate from anywhere), and someone posted a link to this on our message board. It's nice to hear of another year-round Maine transportational cyclist! And especially from rural Maine, where as you say, it's not usually easy or even possible to be car-free.
Are you a member of the Bicycle Coalition of Maine? I was up on Mt. Desert this summer and got together with a board member who lives there to ride up Cadillac together, which I had not done before. I was surprised how quick and easy it really was. My wife was amazed at only took us 20 minutes! (She drove the minivan with the kids and met us at the top.)
