  1. “drivers have long controlled all the roadway real estate, taking up a lot of space without actually transporting that many people.”

    hahaha…..
    But a bicycle with ONE seat sure transports many people.

  2. fuku, dibs. like you’ve never made a typo.

    drivers have long controlled all the roadway real estate, taking up a lot of space without actually transporting that many people. so now a very small fraction of the total roadway of new york is being alloted to another, popular, healthy, non-polluting, post-carbon-fuel form of transportation. and in a city that is extremely well suited to biking as it is flat and enjoys a fairly mild climate, in which over half the households do not own cars. oh yeah, bike lanes, what on earth would make a city official decide that bike lanes would be a good idea?? now that’s a real head-scratching!

    opposing this might be a sincere opinion, but it’s a pretty stupid one.

  3. “in the contest for most tired and bording comment, i think hating on bicycles is right up there with hating on park slope.”

    Southbrooklyn, who’s hating? I was merely pointing out the obvious about Bay Ridge Parkway. It’ll be a dangerous stretch for cyclists to be on given that trucks use it.
    Seems like I was being very concerned and looking out for cyclists.

    I think that cyclists will ride on ANY street they want regardless if it’s got white lines and a bicycle symbol painted on it.
    I just don’t understand how this city has all this $$ to spend on white paint, let alone paying people to come up with where to stroke those paint brushes.

    we wanna hear about people getting their ipads stolen. Or dropping their ipad. I’m sure there will soon be a rash of those stories.

    you can EASILY steal an ipad or laptop at the always over crowded starbucks in soho on on prince street. you’d be SHOCKED how many moonfaces just willy nilly leave their stuff at their table unattended while they go powder their noses and preen in the bathroom mirror. there’s always someone at that store filling out a report of their stuff stolen while they were in the bathroom or online.

    if you are on the R line headed into brooklyn (the following information may or may not be correct so do not take my word for it) and wanna snatch something out of someone’s hand…

    in the contest for most tired and bording comment, i think hating on bicycles is right up there with hating on park slope.

    And yet they continue to be the two most hated categories!!!!

    Third would be bad spellers.
