“drivers have long controlled all the roadway real estate”
I’m glad nobody told me, because I’ve been riding my bike all over the place for decades.
A 20lb bike causes so much more distress to the streets vs a carbon spewing, 3,000lb SUV.
When tolls are started on east river bridges and congestion pricing instituted we than can discuss the registration of bikes.
“and in a city that is extremely well suited to biking as it is flat and enjoys a fairly mild climate”
hahaha again.
You’ve never cycled in Upper Manhattan; Inwood, Morningside Heights, Washington Heights, Hamilton Heights, Harlem, Spanish Harlem. Nothing flat about it.
Or south Brooklyn as a matter of fact, lots of hills.
And where in this city do you find fairly mild climate in late June, July, August and early Sept.? Just wondering cause I sweat like a horse.
randolph, have you ever actually contributed anything to a discussion or are you just here because you’re an immature child????
rob u r a moron
the flip-flop and tote-bag class want their rights too! lol
*rob*
Yes, if there’s going to be money spent on lanes, signage, etc…make them all register and pay a fee.
Exactly, ET. And they can’t carry much.
And it seems like biking is more popular as a leisure activity rather than a serious form of transportation. I don’t doubt that some people use it as their main mode of transport, but it’s a small minority, and likely will remain so.
