  1. yes I mentioned this to the #TransAlt account on Twitter already, no I didn't get a reply

  2. I'm a nypd28pct cop so I can park blocking the bike lane.and endangering the public @nyc311 #transalt #bikenewyork

  3. “I have no problem with delivery people, or motor scooters, or even joyriding teenagers.

    What I do have a problem with is that the bike lanes are fucking full of these things, and that the people on them often ride like assholes, both in and out of the bike lane.”

    Bike Snob says it all. Including the disappointing, oblivious behavior of former bike advocacy groups like #TransAlt

  4. Kudos to Janette Sadik-Khan for bringing bike lanes & Citibike to New Yorkers, to Transportation Alternatives for advocating so effectively for a more bike-friendly & walkable City & to City residents and visitors for ditching their car or cab or Uber & embracing the carbon neutral program with such enthusiasm. joel-epstein.medium.com/citibi #transalt #citibikenyc Rebalancing is still an issue though as at this overcrowded dock at Ash Street in #Greenpoint

  5. We’ve always needed safe infrastructures for people, but that need is even greater as vehicles have gotten bigger.

    More cars, bigger cars, more and more space surrendered in cities to cars.

    In 2000, a bike-rider next to a Toyota Camry had 18 inches on either side. Today a bike-rider next to a Ford F-150 has just 4 inches.

    Stolen space.

  6. I suspect that #TransAlt (and its leadership) not being here is keeping a lot of my #NYC mutuals from migrating over.

    Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and Share The Cities leadership is here, and thus I've seen lots of #Seattle friends migrate over.

  7. In #NYC , #WorldDayofRemembrance memorial set aside to remember those who have been impacted by #TrafficViolence , a staffer of the #safestreets group organizing, #transalt was a victim of traffic violence while #cycling to the event. #bike #NYCbike #Infrastructure #WDoR2022

    221 people have died this year in NYC as a result of traffic violence (Was 190 in 2019) Over 40,000 traffic violence incidences this year. crashmapper.org

    New York “City to Cyclists: Drop Dead”

    Just as daylight savings hit, NYC severed the only car-protected bike lane uptown (pic), which runs along the Hudson River, connecting upper Manhattan and NW The Bronx.

    DO other cities prioritize continuity of service for non-car (I.E., bike) transit?
