You know there are cycling clubs, races to train for, and simply cycling for fitness/to get faster, right? Or do you think anyone who puts effort into something is cosplaying?

• Change the stop lights to something that warns of oncoming or crossing traffic, like flashing lights and signs. Traditional STOP/GO systems don’t work well for intermittent traffic (is any cyclist or ped really gonna wait on a red while there’s no immediate cross traffic?). Instead, go for visibility and awareness, and people’s desire to not collide with one another will prevail.
• Increase the amount of two-way lanes for non-ped traffic. It’s crazy that the 72nd St transverse is the only place with bike lanes going in both directions, though I understand this is probably a holdover from when cars were on the Drive. Maybe some kind of flex lane in certain areas, where one direction of traffic has priority.
• Create a system that uses the language of speed and direction, rather than means of locomotion. In other worlds, group like with like according to where and how fast they’re going.

The EV location is the only one I can find in the US. Maybe they are local.

Huh, Crif Dogs is from NY? I thought it was a Berkeley/Bay Area thing, and the “rival” to Top Dog.

Lady is thinking about this all wrong. She should set up a webcam and get in on that raccoon influencer money. She’s already got a great name for her channel: gangster raccoons BX.

I wonder how the recorded usage was distributed across bus lines. Because I can imagine free WiFi being really useful for international visitors who take the bus from LGA.

If you take it to Poughkeepsie (2 hour ride), you can enjoy the Walkway Over the Hudson.
