Lego Store, NYC. #bikes #bikenyc
I’ve found that people are more likely to ask me for directions when I have my bike with me. I get stopped on street corners all the time in NYC.
I think bikes make people look friendlier, more approachable, and more knowledgeable about the place where they live.
What do you think?
Only now just now stumbled upon this great post by Andrew Leonard of Salon.com. Made me smile on a day a had a minor bike crash on my way home from work…
Somebody <3s the Manhattan Bridge bike path
Took a couple photos on my ride over two East River bridges this morning.
Someone has painted red hearts on each of the stenciled bike lane symbols on the Manhattan Bridge:
And speaking of paint, the resurfaced Williamsburg Bridge path has new paint on the north side!
Should bikers obey traffic signals?
Vanessa from For the Love of Bikes makes some nice points following up on a NY Times Op-Ed about a cyclist who has been testing out (gasp!) stopping at all red lights.
Continuing to improve bike infrastructure is going to lead to better behaved bikers! On busy roads, coasting through a red light can sometimes be your only reprieve from hearing side-view mirrors wizz by your ears.
