  1. It is super annoying that cities take care of streets for cars — and even for bikes — but leave pedestrian infrastructure in the hands of private property-owners, who may or may not have the money or contracting skill to maintain them. Even when we do, it's very expensive and often requires long waiting times. In the meantime we're responsible if people slip and fall. This is an anti-pedestrian policy.

  2. I had an air filter attached to the rear of my #Kombi, and then I realized that I couldn't shift. One of the cords that I had used to secure the hepa filter was on the derailleur. It was an easy thing to fix, but it reminded me just how much I hate derailleurs (and any kind of external gears in general). #BikeTooter #CargoBike #BikeNYC #BikeQNS

  3. The quest for a fair TimeGPT benchmark

    At the end of yesterday's for mobility post, we concluded that TimeGPT's trainingset probably included a copy of the popular BikeNYC timeseries dataset and that, therefore, we were not looking at a fair comparison ...

  4. There may be snow on the ground (and #QueensBlvdPBL full of ice), but that doesn't stop family #CargoBikers from showing up to the climbing gym!

  5. Of course @lincolnrestler.bsky.social and @chiosse.bsky.social already thought of a way to ensure that it is INDEED cheaper to #bike than take a cab to get around #NYC They'd cap hour long ride #citibike ride rate to the cost of a subway fare. #bikeNYC 👀 --> hellgatenyc.com/will-nyc-fin...

    How to Make Citi Bike More Aff...

  6. My friend Rosa Yolanda Pineda has organized an event to get more folks CYCLING in Uptown Manhattan on an Open Street.

    If you have never ridden a #bike before— and #nyc is an admittedly challenging place to learn- come uptown and have fun with friends in a car-free #NYCbike #bikeNYC zone. Its an #urbanists delight.

  7. That was fun. I was crossing the Queensboro Bridge when I notice a dad and his kid biking in front of me. When we get to Skillman I pass them and say to the dad, "He's doing great!" Turns out they're biking all the way to Forest Hills, and the kid is the same age as my daughter and they were previously in the same school & class. We chatted the rest of the 6mi ride home. #BikeNYC #BikeQNS

    It made me miss #KidicalMass. We should have one on the #QueensBlvdPBL @transportationalternatives.

  8. A few weeks ago I wandered into a #BikeDelivery wonderland. I didn't have time to stop to chat with them for more info, but this block in midtown #Manhattan had tons of people using #URB-E trailers for last-mile #delivery by #bike.

    There was a mix of different bikes, but most looked like rebranded Terns. Not the best video, but I counted at least 20 bikes + trailers with different trailer setups (some large boxes, others w/ plastic tote containers, etc).

  9. So, like, what in the hostile architecture is up with this fence on #QueensBlvd? Is that to ensure that drivers on BOTH roads have enough space to illegally park on the curb? Is it to keep people from camping? Was someone at #NYCDOT drunk?

  10. #CargoBikes carrying cargo bikes (a #Cetma #Margo carrying a larger Cetma #Largo). Featuring the Kosic.. Kozi.. *cuts & pastes from Maps* #KosciuszkoBridge path, which is a really nice bike/ped path. #BikeNYC #BikeTooter #EBike #NYC

  11. My office hvac is broke. So I am remotely working from the #nyc greenways summit part of my day.

    Oh the joy of having the #NYCparks employee literally running from me because they don’t have a plan to fix the #HudsonRiverGreenway which succumbed to years of neglect and extreme rain and now has collapsed in a section.

    Now I bike on the #HarlemRiverGreenway — it isn’t far behind in collapsing from extreme rain.

  12. Sent to #NYCDOT DOT-590725-C6J7
    Opposite Billings Lawn somewhat north of Inspiration Point on the Empire State Trail roughly at GPS coordinates 40°51'36.3"N 73°56'07.6"W or 40.860078, -73.935440 there is a terribly narrow pinch point. 9A has three driving lanes AND immense breakdown lane. This construction is jeopardizing the safety of the bicyclists who have to share a two way path next to a light pole.

  13. Just found out that the bike path I use to commute to work has (predictably) partially collapsed.

    18 months ago, #nyc parks closed the uppermost part of the #HudsonRiverGreenway for “repairs” to sinkholes. They didn’t repair them. They allowed a contractor to put asphalt across the top. #bike #bikeNYC is broken now uptown.

    Grabbed these pics from another group.

  14. Went to #vote today at #QueensBoroughHall and was pleased to see brand new bike lanes on #QueensBlvd! Not yet protected, and not yet finished (the connection between the old #QueensBlvdPBL and new bike lanes is confusing and awful), but a good start. #Queens #NYC #BikeNYC

    Also brand new parking for NYC Parks Dept. 😒

  15. Huh. Are the PBLs on Northern Blvd/Broadway any good? Normally I'd take #QueensBlvdPBL/Skillman to get to #LIC, but just noticed that google maps suggests a slightly longer (by .1mi) but less hilly route. I know portions of broadway are still shitty (but then again so are portions of queens blvd).

  16. I can definitely feel my sphincter unclench when I get to the part of the #QueensBlvdPBL that has #JerseyBarriers (ie, is actually #protected instead of just some #CarTickleStix).

  17. #nypd continues to occupy the #columbia neighborhood in #nyc

    Hard to capture the number of #nypd and cop cars of every size on every block from my bike.

    And the #press covering how the protestors prevent folks from getting around … is itself occupying the public #bikenyc #citibike station actually interfering w peoples ability to get around.

    It feels like it’s an occupied zone.

    I am feeling shame and sadness this morning.

  18. I got excited thinking that this would be a nice N-S and E-W network of protected bike lanes in a place that didn't have any before, but then I saw that the E-W route was a "conventional bike lane".

    It's 2023, drivers park on every available surface in #NYC, and we're installing brand new paint-only bike lanes while we also have a legal mandate to install #PBLs. Such 💩.
