This is the only way to get better bike infrastructure and maintenance.
The people in power have to actually bike (and not just an annual photo op)
Anthems for a 17-year-old bike lane
The mighty M11 bus taking passengers down 9th Avenue during the blizzard this morning in Manhattan.
It's been three weeks since the storm. Shovel out these cars, tow them, and turn the space into bike parking, public seating, on-street garbage containerization, bioswales... anything other than car storage would serve more people than this.
For one block at 31st it’s TRIPLE wide
A pink car that says need money for Botox on the side of it in giant letters
A pink sports car with a medical doctor license plate and an advertisement for a Botox service
A parking placard for a trooper surgeon on official medical business
I’ve seen a lot of sketchy parking placards on the streets of NYC, but this Trooper Surgeon “on official medical business” may be the funniest. “I can park wherever I want in the middle of Manhattan because I’m giving State Troopers botox” is next level.
I added 264 googly eyes to some dumb ads on a Citi Bike dock.
lol every example photo of the “bad” things in the TA plan is beautiful. Kids playing in the street!
Escape your parents home, go for a walk, and listen to us gab about New York City news and politics. We go deep on Santacon, outdoor advertising, street parking, and how YIMBYs were the big winners in the Mamdani/Trump meeting. Featuring @anildash.com!
Come see our NYC politics round table with very funny comedians and the Internet’s @anildash.com next week at UCB.

There's been an increasing amount of NYPD vehicles on Central Park walking paths lately. It's beyond me why they think it's a good idea to "patrol" Bethesda Terrace by parking an SUV and idling. Or why they to drive on the paths to use the restroom at a playground.
You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.
I’ve lived in New York for 24 years and have never been canvassed before these two nice men knocked on my apartment door this afternoon. The Zohran army is real, and the fact that Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are sitting on the sidelines is not going to end well for them.
Bike parking shelter on 17th Street by Union Square. The giant bike network map is a nice touch.
I am very excited for a mayor who has thousands of Citi Bike miles under his belt.
The long-awaited separation of pedestrians and cyclists on the Queensboro Bridge falls just short of greatness, as DOT has yet to update the lane markings and add enough wayfinding, five months after Adams unceremoniously kicked cars off a shoulder road. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/10/10/e...
Awesome story about Not In My Backyard! and other local political comedy shows.
The man in blue is biking on the wrong side of the two way bike lane. He doesn’t know this because @nyc-dot.bsky.social hasn’t changed the outdated markings on the ground, over three months after they moved all pedestrians to the other side of the Queensboro Bridge. Needlessly dangerous!
I passed a rare 20 mph street today in the Queens neighborhood of Corona. Advocates fought for 10 years to get Albany to give us the right to set our own speed limits, and one year later we’ve lowered it to 20 on just a handful of roads. Our next mayor should quickly roll this out in every hood.
34th Ave in Queens is just spectacular. 5 years ago this was 4 lanes dedicated to the moving and free storage of private vehicles. Now it’s a park that stretches more than a mile and connects multiple schools. And it’s a great bike connector from Astoria to Flushing Meadows.
Also, this is a nice opportunity to convert it to a big wide 2-way lane? Which would get lots of e-bike delivery drivers who need to go south out of the park. think about it, @nyc-dot.bsky.social
