#bikenyc
Stores in NYC often paper over windows during construction with brown paper or newspaper. It was fun to see this one papered over with #bikeNYC maps
Hearing last week that a bit of East River Park had re-opened, we took a look-see Thursday evening. It was fine.
Big problem is that only 0.25 miles of path along the shoreline is open. And that bit is hexagonal pavers with a slight edge bevel. So not the best #InlineSkating.
There is a marked #bikeNYC lane inland near the FDR, but it's even shorter.
Only access is via a snazzy new pedestrian bridge at the end of Delancey St. (south side).
Looks like a great place for a picnic.
That doesn't belong there.
Photo illustrates how every inch of bike/ped infrastructure in #bikeNYC is co-opted by giant delivery and mobility corporations.
This four-wheeled Amazon delivery vehicle is classified as an "ebike" and has no license plate. I suspect its driver is using the busy sidewalk to make a u-turn after loading up at the truck in the background, which itself is illegally using a turn lane to unload packages into last mile vehicles.

Cyclists get thousands of criminal court summonses.
Drivers get this. (12/n)
None of this excuses the reason for the ride which was the recent decision by NYPD to issue criminal summonses to bike users who violate even the most minor traffic laws, and many who have violated no law such as leaving a bike unlocked for a minute, proceeding with the walk indicator, or riding with no helmet. #bikenyc

Just another night on the West Side Bike Path near Pier 92. Alas.
P.S. Worst roads I rolled were Dean St in Prospect Hts and, heavy sigh, the Kent Ave bikelane in N Williamsburg. I can recall when that bikelane was pretty sweet, but that was not at all recently.
this is such a cool project out of @uwnews.bsky.social. it would be such an exciting citizen science project for NYC. I would happily be a mapper!

Happy bike to work week! Today, I'm having a colonoscopy. Because NYC has a network of #bikenyc lanes (some protected, most of them ain't), I was able to e-bike share from my Bklyn apt to the seaport hospital in 17 mins. It is a shame we don't have a better protected bike lane network.
fuck yeah
When the fuck are we gonna get bike or bus lanes on Metropolitan Ave? It's the direct route from Forest Hills to Ridgewood, Williamsburg, etc. 😠
#FuckEricAdams for not complying with the legal requirement to build 50mi of protected bike lanes and 30 miles of protected bus lanes per year. https://projects.transalt.org/bikelanes
#StreetsblogNYC just published a piece on a new class action lawsuit in federal court against the #NYPD, for its well-documented practice of ticketing cyclists who follow the leading pedestrian interval or #LPI.
#NYC cyclists have been instructed BY LAW to do this since 2019, but cops continue ticketing #bikenyc — and now summonsing them to criminal court — for this LEGAL and SAFE behvaior.
The attorney is seeking additional plaintiffs to join the case.
