That or the bike infrastructure is just not good enough for the casual bicyclist i.e. people who would otherwise choose an uber to get from union station to downtown or Yale.

That or people cycling would rather not die because every driver out there runs red lights and never uses a signal.

Literally though. Its a shame, New Haven should be a fantastic city for walking and bicycling. I cant believe we're still painting death trap cycle lanes squeezed between parking and traffic in 2023

100%. I'm a year-round biker in NHV and some of the new infrastructure is pretty great, but it's pretty pathetic there hasn't been movement on safe streets for all. I don't get it; would make the city better for everyone and cement it on the map because of something other than Yale.

One of the Devil's Gear guys mentioned a local bicycling advocacy non-profit, I think I'm gonna get involved. We need some pro-bicycling pro-pedestrian attack Karens on our side
