Behold the Prospect Park West Bike Lane!
Huge news, courtesy of a Park Slope tipster: The much-anticipated and hotly-debated Prospect Park West bike lane is upon us. Evidently the lines, shown here in this photo, were laid down just this morning. Photo by Joanna Oltman Smith

Neantherthals have decided that those who do things which are easy on the earth are elitists.
You know…cause they think climate change is a bunch of malarkey.
“What’s elitist about bicycling?”
Drivers seem to think somehow they are the only ones who pay for the infrastructure in NYC (through registration fees and whatever else they need to pay to drive) and therefore are entitled to drive 60mph down residential streets without being bother by pesky hipsters pedaling around on toys.
Oh, and don’t forget everyone on a bike runs red lights and rides on sidewalks.
The bike lanes should not be put on main thoroughfares, rather lesser traveled ones. And if it is illegal for a car to be in a bike lane, should it be the same for bikers in car lanes?
Has anyone ever tried to drive on Union St as bikers struggle up the hill, wobbling between a row of parked cars and ones in traffic.
What’s elitist about bicycling? Even a really nice bike costs a small fraction of what a car costs. Aren’t those who would prioritize the needs/wants of drivers the elitists?
Or is it elitist to be in good enough physical shape to ride a bike? Would it be more populist to assume that the poor are not well-served by additional opportunities for lowe-cost fitness and recreation?
Someone, please explain.
nice 11217! happy riding!
ooops!
Well, it is an expressway.
In any event, it is entirely appropriate that on graduation day an asshat has a gownanus.
Expert, is your partner denying you masked backdoor sex?

They should put a bike lane on the Gownanus Expressway.
