Today is National Bike to Work Day, and NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Kha thinks there are more and more reasons to start biking NYC: “With more than 650 lane miles of routes on streets and in parks and with increasing bike parking options across the city, more and more New Yorkers are discovering that bicycling…
Today is National Bike to Work Day, and NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Kha thinks there are more and more reasons to start biking NYC: “With more than 650 lane miles of routes on streets and in parks and with increasing bike parking options across the city, more and more New Yorkers are discovering that bicycling is a safe, convenient and fun way to get around.” Borough President Marty Markowitz celebrated the last week of Bike Month NYC by giving out breakfast this morning to bicycling commuters at Borough Hall. And while there wasn’t a big turn-out at Borough Hall (that’s Marty enjoying a rare moment of solitude on the steps), we’re assuming that only because everyone was too busy, what else, biking to work!
It’s not about just commuting to work, it’s about being able to hop on your bike to go shopping, to the movies, visiting friends and family, drop off dry cleaning,….
Especially when weekend train service is delayed due to track maintenance.
couldn’t agree more w/ rob on this one.
R train represent, baby!

think the people who are on the 4,5 & 6 trains are the worst… in either direction!!!
totally, you have the worst two groups of people UES rich snobs and east harlem ghetto trash. I would NEVER want that line to be my subway commute line.
*rob*
*Rob* — Bike seats are supposed to be mounted horizontally, not with the pointy end straight up….

bike seats are kinda gross cuz the whole time your riding it feels like you have a d/ck in your @ss

Didn’t mention my ‘hood so I guess that explains why I don’t encounter the subway nut job, freak, criminal, deviant, nor BO, prob… Whew!
“Probably true if commuting from East New York!”
Yep. And also true for the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Park Slope, Harlem, Bayside, Forest Hills, Astoria, Williamsburg, Canarsie, Marble Hill, Yorkville, Staten Island….
Agreed cmu – I’ve ridden in every day this month and not broken a sweat in the morning. Sweating is for exercise (& the ride home if you want), not commuting to work.
Soooo much better than the subway.
