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!
-
The Adams' Administration (both of them - Eric and Adrienne) streets in a nutshell: a motorcycle driver illegally driving in a "protected" bike lane, yelling at a driver who has illegally parked in a "protected" bike lane to get out of the bike lane. #BikeNYC #QueensBlvdPBL
But I'm sure ebike license plates will fix this, #NYCCouncil .

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.

So I know there are various problems with green-painted bike lanes (paint can be slippery in the rain, it's a wasteful amount of paint, and so on), but.. when you're biking w/ a 7yo, it sure is a lot easier to just tell her "stay in the green part!".
-
It wasn't until after they passed that I thought to get a pic of my wife & daughter biking in the Queens Blvd PBL. #BikeNYC #QueensBlvdPBL

I was in the #QueensBlvdPBL with my (bakfiet) cargo bike, and some lady pulls her car about 20-30ft in front of me. Predicting what would happen next, I gave a wide berth as her passenger flung the door open just before I passed them.
I screamed "ASSHOLE" at the top of my lungs, scaring tf out of both of them. It felt good.

I absolutely despise these rumble strips on the #QueensBlvdPBL. They're at *every* *single* intersection, every mid-block crossing, and every car merge*. Feels like they're like every 200 feet for miles, and they rattle my brain every time no matter what speed I go over them. I've never before wanted suspension on my bike..

* Drivers? Go as fast as you want (despite having a stop sign). Bikes? Whoa, slow down there Speedy Gonzalez (despite technically having the right of way)! -
Writing a comment (asking once again for proper protection on the #QueensBlvdPBL) to #NYC #DOT, and the captcha wants me to check all the boxes with cars in them. Okay, a little on-the-nose for DOT, but sure, I can do that...
Wait, hold up. Computer: Enhance.
Is that a bunch of cars and motorcycles parked on a *sidewalk*? What is this, an #NYPD station?
-
Little kids biking with their parents on the Queens Blvd "protected" bike lane deserve *actual* protection, not just a few sad broken flex posts.
Note the cars parked on the sidewalk portion of the PBL.

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. 😒

I've seen a lot of shitty patch jobs, but this is next level. Fucking OSB?? #BikeNYC #Queens #NYC #QueensBlvdPBL

This is the design #NYC DOT wants to do for the #QueensBlvdPBL when they do their big capital project, and it's going to suck even more than what we have now.

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).

@rbellinger Giant rocks protecting the #QueensBlvdPBL when?

Yesterday I took a picture of this fun little obstacle course required to get onto the #QueensBlvdPBL
Today, they were actively doing construction on it, and all of the construction worker trucks & cars were parked blocking the bike lane.
The Queens Blvd bike lane doesn't feel very "protected" these days, and it's so depressing that their big capital projects plan for the corridor won't fix it (or will even make it worse). 🙁
-
Boy, I absolutely cannot wait for the DOT capital project (costing millions of dollars) that will reconstruct the #QueensBlvd protected bike lane to make it look a lot like the curb in these pictures that cars are currently parked all over. It's going to be such a huge improvement! 🙃

@Ny_jc_gal_76 One of the reasons I vote absentee instead of going over there to Queens Borough Hall (my early voting location) is because #QueensBlvd is so sketchy over there. At the very least, need to extend the #QueensBlvdPBL, improve the medians, fix the stupid diagonal #crosswalks, and fix the signals.
-
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).
-
Right now our top 2 #MiddleSchool options for next year are one #school that's < 3mi away (driving or biking), but requires crossing an awful #highway interchange with unprotected bike lanes or non-existent #BikeLanes. We're also lucky (well, not lucky, since we specifically chose #NYC for #transit) that there's transit options, although all involve a slow #bus.
The other option is 6-8mi drive or #bike ride, but entirely on the #QueensBlvdPBL except the last block. 🤔
-
I don't understand why the #JerseyBarriers on the #QueensBlvdPBL don't extend all the way up to the crosswalk.
-
If #ForestHills had #BikeShare, I'd happily use it instead of my own personal #bike. My personal (non-cargo) bike gets used about once per month, so the tires are always under inflated when I need it.
Alas, no plans for #expansion despite there being an obvious path along the #QueensBlvdPBL.
