Seems someone put pieces of paper on all bikes saying that on April 13, the parking lot will be used for construction and any bikes will be towed/impounder/raped in the butt.

Anyone know if this is permanent? They've been doing some underwater stuff at the piers. I'm hoping this is only temporary while construction lasts. Otherwise it might be the end of commuting and avoiding the subway.

construction being temporary in NYC?

good luck with that...

The only legit parking area designated for motorcycles in this so-called eco friendly city being closed. Sucks.

Instead, they spend millions on bicycle lanes that take up half of a car lane in neighborhoods where I never see a bike rider.

You mean we're not supposed to?

I don't see any pedals on this bike:

The funny thing is I saw a guy on a motorcycle passing people by using the "bicycle" lane.
I think he actually thought it was for use by motorcycles too.

I do it regularly when no pedal bikes are around. Open pavement is fair game. :thumbsup:

 

[gulliamo]

I do too.

I would never dare use the bicycle lanes. I would feel to guilty. I never see them used by bicycles anyway. I wanna know how much the city paid for all of those lanes and how much revenue did they make off of bicyclists.

If anything, I feel they made them to cut down the streets so when a car happens to cross over-----> tickets.

I kinda like the way they set up the bike lanes up against the curb, with car parking in the middle of the street between the bike lane and moving traffic. Makes for safer riding. No more getting squeezed by traffic and swinging doors from parked cars.
