Reply to comment by LunchMasterFlex in Controversy over neighborhood hubs for food delivery workers in Manhattan by Shreddersaurusrex

The worst is whenever there's a new bike lane being proposed and ppl say "how many ppl even bike? Deliver workers don't count".

I've heard that many times. Ofc when asked "why don't they count?" they get very quiet.

Probably because what they ride are more akin to motorcycles rather than bikes, and theyre the most egregious when going the wrong way down those lanes and running reds. I dont order delivery because I dont want to compound on those problems, but I also get there isnt a perfect “lane” for them to use, sidewalk is obv bad but riding in traffic isnt ideal.
