The data shows it: protected bike lanes work. When you make it safer to ride, more New Yorkers choose to cycle.
Let’s build more! West 155th Street is a great place to start…
The (mostly) protected bike lane on Brooklyn's Bedford Avenue attracted nearly 60 percent more cyclists in the year since its debut, proving the hypothesis that if safer lanes are built, cyclists will use them. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/…
Wow, NYC has done this! (with a Spanish company building the bins, and it's only in Harlem for now) but wow, this is pretty amazing news gothamist.com/news/this-harl…
@_elkue thanks for reporting this!! I became a bit of a containerized garbage sensation in summer 2023 when I posted about how Spain (and Europe) does this so much better than NYC 🤣 and LOOK AT US NOW!! 🙌

Here's just that side-by-side before & after coming off the Pulaski Bridge a few of you have already asked for as an excerpt (and I even made it a little longer!)
It's really quite remarkable. @NYC_DOT did very well here earlier this year.

Spent a couple hours today on the newly redesigned slow street stretch of Broadway above Union Square, and dammmmn, this is a home run for @NYC_DOT and @UnionSquareNY. It’s spectacular, and allocates the street space exactly right. 1/

Seriously, WATCH this short video to see how to effectively make the case for protected bike-lanes, and particularly how they’re good for business. Or just as a great example of how to speak to any city council.
Watch it, then share it. HT @PVDStreets

Odds of a child getting kidnapped are ~1 in a million.
Odds of a child born in 2021 dying in a traffic crash are ~1 in 93.
Parents act like these stats are reversed. Paranoid about rare kidnappings and naive about the common driving.

~80% of a delivery truck's time is spent parked on the curb, and most of the delivery takes place walking around carrying packages.
Electric cargo bikes to the rescue! ⚡️🚲

Odds are good that your favorite European piazza/plaza/place used to be a parking lot.
Great story from @aitorehm with before/after pics: politico.eu/article/europe-c…
Here’s Madrid’s Plaza Mayor [cont'd]

I'm announcing my newest challenge: The Prince St Shimmy.
Leave your bike at home, for this challenge you must walk the entire length of Prince St adjacent to @NYPD84Pct.
It might seem easy, but you will squeeze, turn, and shimmy past numerous cars parked on the sidewalk.

In Boston went for a family ride using the new cargo bike share @RideCargoB (plus a @RideBluebikes) and it was fantastic to see historic places, parks, bike lanes & more! We need in #bikenyc.
Here's a bit of our 18km journey. My first time behind an @UrbanArrowcom! @OpenPlans

Ok, if a rookie cop is suddenly well known for strict enforcement of traffic laws after only three months, what’s the implication of all the other cops?

On the 17th of April 2024, I will attempt to break the Guiness World record for the longest Chess marathon in the heart of Times Square New York City for 58 hours without losing a game.
Doing this for the dreams of millions of children across Africa without access to education.
.@MTA needs to upgrade their sign technology. but at least it's on the outside of the station.
