  1. I was biking near the queens zoo today, and adjusting the pedal-assist all the way up to 4 (which I never do). Thinking to myself, "Jesus fuck, is this headwind really that strong or is this heat just making me weak?"

    I look over at the sidewalk, and someone is walking backwards to deal with the wind. "Oh, it's actually the headwind."

  3. #QueensZoo needs to ditch these awful bike racks and install staple racks. This same amount of space could fit at least a dozen bikes, but the "wheel bender" rack is just space inefficient.

  5. The #bike path connecting Upper Manhattan to lower Manhattan is at risk of closing.

    Again.

    Because a teeny, yet mightily important, bike-and-pedestrian only bridge crossing the Amtrak tracks near the George Washington Bridge has taken more than 17 years to even begin planning.

    Turns out the plywood and 2"x4" plank temporary patch was only temporary. And its now degraded to a dangerous state.

  7. Reminder to folks who skate the WSBP ( #HudsonRiverGreenway ) that you'll want to avoid it a few days in the coming week.

    Sunday is Pride Parade day, which means the path will be thick with pedestrians south of Chelsea Piers later in the day.

    Then next weekend, July 4th and Fleet Week join up. So not only will there be pedestians on the path near the cruise terminal, there will be a crowds all over for the Tall Ship review and fireworks.

  8. Cargo bikes are fun

    Helped move a tree that was in a tree pit that's going to be cleared out and filled with flowers tomorrow.

    "Mamdani Nominates Ex-Bloomberg Official Janette Sadik-Khan To MTA Board

    Guess who's back, back again. Janette's back, tell a friend."

    I will now prepare myself by reading her excellent book wherein she describes how NYC went from 0-adjacent bike lanes, to something much better.

  11. #NYC #DOT is going to pilot installing paid battery exchange stations for #bikeNYC #NYCbike deliveristas.

    Their program is good, imho, but imperfect. (Exchange only in the wealthy parts of town, no stations where deliveristas live...) Share your thoughts here: nycdotprojects.info/project/19

    Two young men in their 30s were killed today on the Queensboro Bridge in the bike lane. One of them was riding an illegal scooter going insanely fast. The photos are enough to shake a daily bike commuter like me enough and compel me to post this. I hope real regulation happens soon regarding illegal scooters (and for that matter, straight up motorcycles) in NYC bike lanes.

  22. Hey while you're in the area; how about some bike lanes? Other than Queens Blvd, we got diddly-squat out here. #NYC #BikeNYC #Mamdani bsky.app/profile/mayor.nyc.gov

  24. I'm walking through queens plaza and I run into my wife, who's biking on the queensboro bike path. She stops for maybe two mins while I adjust her bike brakes. Someone biking by yells, "go on a date or something, but get out of the bike lane!"

    Oh, if only he knew.. 😂

  26. Cheers to @[email protected] for launching their campaign to expand NYC's Summer Streets into the spring, fall, and evenings! It's urgent that Toronto bring back open streets which has been on hiatus since 2022 and expand it ASAP! #BikeNYC #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ActiveTO tinyurl.com/openstreetsp...
