Bikes bikes bikes. We're being invaded.
ReplyDeleteCity planners are insane.
ReplyDeleteYes “invaded” by healthy, show cheap, fun, speedy, transport that doesn’t ever get traffic jams, pollute or kill pedestrians or destroy ecosystems. It’s cars that are the invaders.
ReplyDeleteThis obsession with bikes and bike lanes with the DOT is insane. They're fucking up all of the roads, half of them you technically are not even supposed to pull over a truck or vehicle, what're you supposed to do, stop in the road? They need to stop. At least this one is parking protected, which as a biker has a safer feeling and also allows vehicles to park. But most of these are a disaster and the whining of bike activists has had too much sway, like on Avenue C. Ghost Town bike lane on Ave C with a few bikes a day and nowhere for a car to park. It's ridiculous. Then they complain if a truck uses the SIDE OF THE ROAD to unload, as if they can't go around it. When I bike, I go around it. It's a dense city, get over it crybaby.
