Seen Biking (photo) The South Portland Parks Department used the Bicycle Coalition of Maine’s Share the Road logo to create this flower bed at the top of Meetinghouse Hill, at the corner of Cottage and Mitchell Roads. The little, triangle-shaped park makes a great biking destination, with beaches, lighthouses and ice cream shops nearby.
