Just take the train. An open air motorized ride where you are not sealed in a train with random riff raff is a luxury.

I put on an old knee-length raincoat and found nicotine gum. I quit smoking more than 10 years ago.

Not mad, don't hold grudges or take offense to different opinions. The bikes are already riding the trains and riding on the platform. Maybe in the tunnels they could ride on top of the 3rd rail?

Londoners :
“Residents hate them … so why do officials keep making more LTNs? A review of 90 low-traffic neighbourhoods found locals opposed the scheme in 87 per cent of cases where polling was conducted. The majority went ahead anyway”

. @CitiBikeNYC was sold as a "last mile solution", not an every mile motorized solution.

Great call. In the future, the festival should be held on Randall's Island or a Stadium. Relieved that the destruction of the Great Lawn was found to be intolerable. Thanks @CentralPark_NYC

Reminder @TransAlt advocated for a HIGHER speed limit 4 bikes @CentralPark_NYC + Conservancy built high-speed bike lane + disabled crossing lights throughout Park + now a pedestrian is (hopefully still) clinging to life. @GaleBrewerNYC @SpeakerMenin @nyc_evsa

E-bike terrorism on our streets takes another life.
@NYCMayor please stop shilling for lobbyists and gentrification.

They have, on the West Side Highway, when there is already a protected bike lane along the river. It's never enough.

Sad. It wont be reported. The rider almost never stays at scene. Ban E-Vehicles from our parks! @ShaunAbreu @GaleBrewer @nyccitycouncil @nyc_dot

Here we go again @CentralPark_NYC . The last time we had a Global Citizen with significant rain, the lawn was closed until April. It's bad enough that they steal 10 days with closure and endless hassles, but another 6 weeks before the winter closure is a predictable shame.
A worrying situation is unfolding as a Nor'easter storm is expected to hit the city around 3 p.m. on Saturday.
The Global Citizen Concert begins at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Great Lawn. More than 50K people are expected at the concert.
In 2023, the Great Lawn was badly damaged when Global Citizen coincided with Tropical Storm Ophelia, causing more than $600K in damage and closing the lawn to the public 2 months earlier than usual.
There is no rain date.

The "ICE argument" is the bike lobby fable that lawless e-bikwrs should nit be pulled over because it chances an encounter with Immigration enforcement. Hogwash!
