New Bike Lanes on Smith and Hoyt
Good news for BoCoCa bikers, as this spring will bring extended bike lanes to and from the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.

Good news for BoCoCa bikers, as this spring will bring extended bike lanes to and from the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. Bicycle lanes on Smith and Hoyt street will be added, with the Smith street lane going from Bergen to 9th Street, and the Hoyt Street lane going from Bergen to 3rd Street. Nine parking spots will be lost on Hoyt between Bergen and Wyckoff. Worth the trade?

I have a bike, I ride in the street, I do however try to find less traffic streets to ride in though.
Don’t be cheap, rent a garage…..
Yeah find me one, last time I looked there wasn’t an abundance of garages for rent….BTW, I’m in Bath Beach, I can park my car with no problem. It’s comming to PS & BH that you can never find a spot.
“I’m not a snob, I’m just a grown-up. Get over yourself.”
i don’t follow your logic. Are you saying everyone who rides a bike doesn’t own an automobile? Are you saying people who have bikes can’t afford an automobile?
To address your original statement – yes, it IS class resentment, from people like yourself who consider themselves better than someone who chooses to ride a bike – and sees your tax money going towards something you deem as “childish” and not “grown up”
you get over yourself – your car contributes nothing to this city except noise and pollution.

Contrary to what you’re saying, it’s the spandex-clad speeders who’re a danger as they go too fast and too full of themselves.
i agree THEY are the dangerous ones. the ones i described in the dumb sun hats and flip flops are the annoying, oblivious to their surroundings, obnoxious ones.
*rob*
Props on the Seinfeld reference. Nice.
Exactly what this thread needed too: makes a point but also brings some levity … peops always get too heated about the cycling issue…
“chick who screamed at you was also wearing a stupid hat and flip flops and peddling along at 1mph like she’s riding along marthas vinyard? im correct right?”
I KNOW you like to rile up people rob, but get a grip. Pedaling slow is a good way to save yourself…that’s what I do, and yes, in summer I’ve been known to cycle in flipflops. And I cycle as transport and for doing errands, not only to show off.

That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George complains, “Is it selfish to want something just for myself?”
Jerry replies, “I believe that’s the very definition of selfish.”
Minard, you lost all cred with Maoist children comment
Minard — Just a grown-up? The worst kind apparently. Do what I say, not what I do. I’m the grown-up, this is the right because I say it is!
