Closing Bell: Bike Shelter Full Up
Looks like this bicycle parking shelter at DeKalb and Flatbush, as snapped by a reader last Friday, is pretty popular. The shelter is one of several the DOT’s installed around the city this year.

“Streets are meant to be shared.”
And cyclists should not ride against the flow of traffic.
YES! this is the GREATEST!!!! the more bike racks the merrier!!! RAH RAH RAH … GO GO GO … RAH RAH RAH … keep up the great work everyone! and build more of these!!
If you park in a bike lane, you will receive a ticket which cost $115.00 unless you have a commercial vehicle. I know because I got a ticket on Carlton Ave between Dekalb and Willoughby.
“Streets are meant to be shared.”
And bike lanes are not meant for parking cars.
Some people always look for the negative. If you’re against *double parking* in general, say so.
Otherwise, how is it different to double park in a *car lane* vs a *bike lane*?
If you cannot negotiate around a parked car on a street like Berkeley Pl, you should not be cycling. (It may be necessary to say I’m a regular cyclist, but who is unfazed by double-parked cars.)
Streets are meant to be shared.
“as drivers get used to seeing these lanes, they’ll adjust their driving habits accordingly”
I doubt that. Drivers will keep double-parking in them, alas. Unless some serious ticketing starts.
Yes, I had the same thought — these are narrow streets anyway. But I think as drivers get used to seeing these lanes, they’ll adjust their driving habits accordingly.
Park Sloper…I agree!!
They also added bike lanes to Lincoln Place, one up from Berkeley…
I love them, but there doesn’t seem to be much room for the bike lane and the car lane. Do you agree??
The more of these that get built, the more people will realize that bikes are a viable way of getting around the city. I say, bravo!
I also noticed new bike lanes were painted on Berkeley Place this past weekend. Has anyone noticed any other new bike lanes?
