A local bike shop is trying to get camping regulations in NY state changed to make hike/bike camping as a group easier because the rules are currently written with only drivers in mind.

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.

OMG OMG OMG Its happening.

"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.

#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: https://nycdotprojects.info/project/1995/overview

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.

This was the worst rain and localized flooding that I’ve seen in my time biking in NYC. I was literally riding through 1-2 feet of water at times. Fellow cyclists, what say you? Any interesting stories today out there? #bikeNYC #nycbike #flooding #nyc #newyorkcity

Super excited for the #HarlemRiverGreenway presentation for #bikeNYC #NYCbike
Cannot wait (okay. It’ll likely be years before the whole thing is open. But we will get there.)

#bikeNYC #NYCbike #bike #nyc Instead of registering e-bikes (Intro 606), how about we address the startling reality of quick and quiet modes of travel? De-Startle the e-bike by giving them their its own unique chorus like other EV’s. I suggest the opening chorus from The Simpson’s.

I am out of town this week.
The nypd chase and reckless driver killing of ANOTHER cyclist - this time in upper Manhattan - is hitting me hard.
I bike this block because it’s the street that connects to entry points for both the Hudson River and Harlem River greenways. https://www.threads.net/@atthenius/post/DB6xAOKSLgR

#bikeNYC #NYCbike #NYC Comptroller Brad Lander has released his recommendations for micromobility expansion.
Big takeaways:
=> regulate and provide for emicromobility/bike batteries much better
=> regulate and license deliveristas moving around nyc by e-vehicle
=> get streets to catch up with the diverse micromobility times https://www.threads.net/@atthenius/post/DBtu61sRfe4 -
#bikeNYC #NYCbike #nyc - Chicago made its streets 27% less deadly from 2021 to 2024. If we could have done that, we would have saved 56 lives each year (Jan-Sep numbers) https://www.threads.net/@atthenius/post/DBrPT7ERkep

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.

Another beautiful weekend for a fall ride out of #nyc #bikeNYC #NYCbike

I 🐔 out of the 45-mile loop of #TourDeBronx last weekend,here I atone:
#bikeNYC #NYCbike eastern portion- by #bike to Orchard Beach- from WaHIThe hardest (least bike lanes, most urban density&steepest grades) is the boundary of #Manhattan and The #Bronx- after that, bike lanes through this borough are the greenest, prettiest, respites w views of rivers and bays and marshes on par w anywhere in the Northeast

Went to community board 9 meeting for #bikeNYC #NYCbike to get a safe detour for my #bike lane that was washed out through neglect X climate change
But again some rando dude says I don't get it bc of generational NYC'ers
This forever outsider came to #NYC a few months pre-9/11; stayed after school; got a job. My teen kids were born here. Faced down the public school system. Stayed through 4 'post tropical’ hurricanes & scariest covid days
Now I want a safe bike lane🫳🎤

Bike infrastructure CANNOT function as a transportation network unless there is reliability of service.
Two sections of the Hudson River Greenway — in parts, the busiest bike path in the nation, are closed for many months — with a note (I mean detour sign) ‘good luck and don’t die there on Broadway along that truck route’.
Thx-

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.

Mark Levine #manhattan borough president is having a AMA Tuesday 9/10 at 2p:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MicromobilityNYC/s/aJzkUKWkCu
I am livid that I am still unable to do my bike commute because #nycparks through hubris and neglect allowed a sinkhole to take the path out— 18 months after closing said path and supposedly fixing it.

Let’s tell him that bikes ARE transportation.
We need the same sense of urgency to keep bike lanes safe and passable as cars get for highways.
