Thanks to everyone who came out for our first ride of the season last month, it was a blast! After the 0-12 losing streak, the Mets are 6-6 since the Bike Bus returned on 4/23, so of course we're taking credit for turning the team around. Don't be the reason we go on another skid - ride with us to the game next Friday and let's keep this momentum going.
Thanks to @shanerich5 on Instagram for this great video of last month's ride.
It's street resurfacing season! The Department of Transportation has announced that they will be milling, and eventually repaving, Skillman Avenue from Queens Boulevard to 52nd Street.
In past experience, there are weeks or months between when the milling removes the surface of the streets and when the thermoplastic is finally replaced. In between, many drivers pretend that the bike lanes and pedestrian refuges were never there, and park next to the curb. If some drivers respect the old arrangement, the practice is often inconsistent, making the bike lanes and pedestrian refuges useless and leaving the street hazardous to everyone.
Does anyone have any thoughts about how to maintain micromobility and pedestrian space during a street resurfacing?
How long are we going to be without the Skillman Avenue pedestrian refuges?
