Well, my friend @kevindugan once again shines the light on #NYC #bike #nycbike infrastructure dysfunction.

What’s the answer?

Bike paths are vital transportation networks — they deserve consistency of service and quality so folks can rely on bikes for getting to where they need to go.

#NYCParks without capital budget or expertise to maintain bike paths (greenways) should relinquish control of the #HudsonRiverGreenway to #NYCDOT

#nycbike #nypd Cops in Prospect Park on west drive ~7th St stopping e-bikes. The kindly gentleman let me go with a verbal warning as my kid was in the cargo box. #UrbanArrow #cargobike #prospectpark

NIMBY backlash to delivery e-bike charging station at west 72nd St has begun #NYCBike #CB7 #TheWarOnCars #streetsblog #deliverista

#NYCbike @nycfedibikes :: Today #nycdot posted to FB “Pedestrian deaths in NYC are down 8.8% this year, the 3rd lowest in the City’s recorded history, defying national trends.”.
Fact-checking w crashmapper.org reveals this as false; 2021&22 are up from 2020 (see fig). I looked for a streetsblog post to factcheck myself and found (consistent with my back-of-the-envelope-excel):

@Rbratspies they’re mostly still hanging out on reddit and slack, but count me amongst that bunch of #nycbike enthusiasts

Hey New Yorkers, please consider contacting your Councilmember to support for the Bike Lane Bounty* bill.

This Redit post sums it up pretty well:

* Not Just Bikelanes, it also applies to bus lanes, cross walks and fire hydrants.

Looking to form a biking group to ride Broadway from Harlem to fidi. #alleycat style.

@vinceth interesting thesis about #nycbike #citibike rollout and #airpollution. Steve Chillrud & colleagues have been looking at bikes and pollution for awhile— interact w/them? Thoughts: was it the citibike rollout or (sometimes) coincident bike lane development? The Bronx lags in CB stands. Where would new ones best improve AQ? The community gets to vote (not decide) on stand locations — Did DOT choose correctly, or did they ignore/listen to community input to the detriment (benefit) of AQ?

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. https://crashmapper.org
