Dory riding a track bike in a US kit
Dory on the podium
Dory Selinger lost his leg in the early '90s after a driver hit him with a car. He went on to earn a gold medal in the 2020 Paralympics and was a three-time world champion.
A driver killed him on 4/16 while he was riding a bike.
If I absolutely HAVE to be humiliated on the willyb bridge climb by every single New Yorker on a grey citibike, could they please learn to descend, or at least move aside so I can pass?
Had the day off but didn't ride-too cold in the morning and wasn't warm until school dismissal time. Hope to get over my school pick-up ptsd some day.
A view from inside the new York State pavilion from the 1964 world's Fair. It looks like a doughnut is suspended by wires above the structure.
New York State Pavilion. Look at all the great spots for hanging decorations!
A silver and white bicycle with pink accents and a brand new bright orange rear tire is leaned up against a large stone block. A clear blue sky and the NYC skyline are in the background.
Bike rooms are great until you get all dressed and layered up for a cold ride only to find a flat. So you bring the bike up to the apartment to put in a new tube. Why bother taking off the layers, it'll take 5 minutes tops! 1 stubborn new tire, 2 pinched tubes, and 2 hrs later... #bikenyc
Sir, a second bird is at the feeder
Nailed it for me, except for the degrees and awards
I'm very offended by this whole thread! My cousin's friend's father-in-law died from helmet discourse!
Photo of a route of cyclists waiting for a drawbridge to close. Of the cyclists, 5 are queued up on the correct side, two are antisocial assholes on the oncoming side hoping to cut the line.
Caught the bridge up twice in two days—tying my record. Good to see only two antisocial future SUV drivers trying to cut the line, out of a total of eight #bikenyc
A black bicycle with canvas bags attached to handlebars and saddle is leaned up against a boulder on the Queens bank of the East River. The Manhattan skyline is in the background.

A photo from the intersection of 57th Ave and Queens Blvd. The White Castle on the corner has a sign that reads "SHRIMP NIBBLER ARE BACK" Behind the white castle is another fast food eatery called Halal Eats, which may be the better choice.
25-miler #bikenyc on the commuter around Queens today. I believe dragging the extra 15 lbs in bags and lock will make me faster. Also TIL the plural of "shrimp nibbler" is "shrimp nibbler"
Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.
I played hooky from work to go to his 20th win in his CY year. Best decision ever, and it only cost like $20. Couldn't talk about it the next day though
A screenshot showing Google photos' pick for my best photo from March 2016. The old photo is of the NYC skyline with a lamppost in the foreground with a sticker that reads "RUMP 2016 / E AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"
Fuck you, Google photos. I didn't need to be reminded this morning of having spent a decade in hell
Iran is going to win the Super Bowl next year
The people I feel sorriest for are The Troops, who America's baseball team let down, probably because they don't really respect them.
easy bucket
A black cat with alert eyes sits in front of a white wall. She is wearing a floppy, segmented, orange Elizabethan collar/cone that resembles a pumpkin.
Have a spooky Friday the 13th, everyone!
Happy Calvin's Dad day to those who celebrate
I feel this. I was pretty distraught when Bush won the election but seeing the Yanks with him didn't break my heart the way that horrible Judge-Trump handshake did.
Ocean with plate T663713C stopped in a crosswalk
Screenshot from howsmydriving.nyc showing that plate T663713C has 75 violations, including 8 red light and speed camera violations between September 2021 and May 2022.
Combining ocean spotting and howsmydriving.nyc
How do these Ocean plates work? These violations must be from when the plate was on a different vehicle, right? @oceansofnyc.com
A view of the lake in prospect Park. It's still iced over but the sky is blue and the sun is bright. There are people walking and exercising
A view of the entrance to prospect Park from Grand army plaza. A lone cyclist in long sleeves is riding towards the viewer. There aren't as many people out as one would expect.
A view from behind of two cyclists riding the loop in prospect park. The trees are bare, the cyclists aren't showing any skin
A view of an empty lot in an industrial area. A stop sign has had additional signs added beneath it so that it reads "STOP COLLABORATE LISTEN"
The lake is still iced over but it was a great morning for my first prospect Park laps of 2026. Get out there, #bikenyc
yesterday I joked I couldn't wait to see $5/gal gas because my bike is powered by the tears of SUV drivers.
The joke's on me-today I saw one of the new electric Escalades blocking a whole goddamn crosswalk. The gas crisis will hurt normal folks while the worst people in the world laugh
I would love this. I put maybe 1000 miles a year on my Miata but have to use regular insurance since Hagerty doesn't recognize my bike (2500 miles last year) as my primary vehicle @governor.ny.gov

Thinking about building a "mirror" bike: Front brake on right, front shifter on right, reverse shifting OM-1 rear derailer on left
Q: So you're not pulling back in Minnesota?
TRUMP: No no. Not at all.
I'd guess at least half of men who bike regularly have kicked an SUV. When your life is threatened by objects of this specific shape daily, pattern recognition kicks in.
I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
For me "stocking up" is buying stuff to make 2 dishes that'll feed us for 4 days, as opposed to our usual 1 dish, 2 day shop.
I don't know what the lady buying 4 cases of bottled water is doing though, that's just bonkers!
