Hi all!

Snow conditions in bike lanes all around the city from exp this afternoon for after work trip?
Seems pretty good from a walk at lunch around BK heights.

Hope it helps !

Cheers

Hi bike fam, I'm organizing a silly bike scavenger hunt/community mixer/trans advocacy fundraiser event at Principles Coffee House in Brooklyn on Saturday Feb 8th.

Here is the event page with info and signup: https://events.humanitix.com/one-night-track-stand-2025

Last year was a goofy good time and would love to see y'all there on Saturday!

I have a good friend who lives on the water in Freeport. I'd like to ride to his house this spring/summer (probably LIRR back from Baldwin) but am concerned about the routes Google Maps suggests.

I know my way around Brooklyn but am totally lost past JFK. Any suggestions for not dying at the hands of crazy Nassau county drivers? Experienced cyclist but not looking for a harrowing experience. Thanks!

Not sure what it was but this morning I slipped and fell on the 2nd Ave bike lane between E 51st and E 50th street today 2/3/2025. That is all.

Stay safe out there!

Three times I’ve been stopped riding my bike. Two of those times the police pretty much forced me off the road with their squad car.

I have an easy out so we didn’t conversate long. But be careful out there. All three times I was obeying traffic rules, in the street going with traffic.

New commissioner might be doing quality of life arrests and ticketing

Just barely reading the news, but it seems as if tariffs is the new thing on the block. If gas gets more expensive (above 5 dollars), we might see a bigger effect than even congestion pricing has.

TBH people using the bike lane to momentarily stop doesn’t drive me up a a wall. I just found it rich that a bus driver decided to momentarily stop in one as pictured. Especially when their drivers and the agency themselves are so big on others staying out of bus lanes. I’ve had drivers dangerously overtake me while I was in the bus lane & then they have no concern about how reckless their behavior is.

Long story short, Lucy and her best bud Vivienne biking around NYC early 90s. I highly recommend it. Currently on Criterion Channel.

Hi all, I’m a bit confused on how to turn at certain intersections. For example, if there a left side running bike lane and I need to turn right on to a street, do I have to merge into traffic or should I pull into the bike lane on the new street and wait for the light to turn green the other way (so I’m essentially making a two point turn). Same with vice versa.

OK, I'm about ready to buy a bike, tell me what I should get?

Requirements:

• I need to haul my 7 year old, 50lbs kid around. Space for another kid (and maybe my wife) would be cool too
• Bike will be ok being locked outside - I have nowhere to keep it inside. I'll get the best locks and cover and do what I can, but need it not to be a target and hopefully have good anti-theft (or that I can easily add anti-theft to it)
• Electric might be nice, but also maybe not? I'm pretty fit, I've been biking her around on a ciitbike with a urrider seat for the past few years, so I like extra exercise from biking. I'm thinking about summer though where I will have to schlep all over the city for various summer camps.

I was thinking a long-tail cargo bike. Not sure though, I've never ridden one.

Hi All, can anyone tell me the status of the East River Greenway below Stuytown? is there a direct path to FiDi? or is it still broken? Last time I tried, the path ended in Houston. Not sure if there is a workaround there to continue south.

I just started a year off work and love using the citibikes here in NYC for the past 10 years. I would love to start taking longer trips to explore the city now that I am not working. But the second day after I moved to NYC 20 years ago, I locked my $400 trek bike with a gorilla U lock to go into a store for 3 minutes and when I returned the bike was stolen. I used that bike for 3 years in Boston without problems.

Is a lighter bike then citibike that I can use for more that 30 minutes worth it in NYC?

Thank you!

Must have been put up overnight or this morning. Love the use of this space. Prevents parking and helps day lighting
