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

“morralkan-Try riding from 12th and PPW to the GAP greenmarket. It’s almost impossible.”
Downhill on 11th or 13th Street, right onto 8th Avenue, and another right up Union Street should do the trick.
Hallelujah! Suck it, Marty!
I did DH!
” I am completely baffled by the idea that any bicyclist over the age of eight would have trouble sharing road space with other vehicles.”
I think you got that last sentence a tad bit twisted ma
NYC has always been plenty bikeable. Bikes can and should go anywhere cars can except limited access highways. These bike lanes are really just a way to score anti-car political points. I am completely baffled by the idea that any bicyclist over the age of eight would have trouble sharing road space with other vehicles.
11217 – did you ever end up getting a bike? i recall you were considering it
Most NYC commuters ride the subway, someguy.
You’re the one coming to a post about a new bike lane whining about the poor car drivers of the city. Seems to me you’re the one who needs to get a grip. Your posts come across really desperate.
Someguy — NO, I think livery and cabs will go slower because there is a car IN FRONT OF THEM and they can’t get around them. With the previous 3-wide-line road, cars could go crazy.
And YES… cars do drive 50+ mph on PPW. If I’m driving (too fast, really) at 40 mph down PPW and someone in suped up Acura blows by me… how fast is he going? 42 mph?
I truly hope this bike lane causes you personal problems. 🙂
8,000,000 commuters. read the post. All I am saying is get a grip on yourselves.
