PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 20, 2020
I live and walk on Back Cove daily. I live in fear of being hit by a bike that I cannot hear, have no warning that it’s behind me and about to pass. Walkers drift, move to look at something or, like me, pick up trash. I moved to Maine 10 years ago, from a large city where the culture of bike riders is to say “On your left” before passing. It almost never happens here. Why? ~ Eileen Purdy, Portland
