“Okay, so why don’t more people ride motorbikes in NYC? They are the perfect way to get around congested cities and blend the best of both cycles and cars.”
They are a real bitch to park. Either you park inbetween cars on the street and pray they don’t get knocked over, or leave them on the sidewalk and take your license plate with you and pray you don’t get towed by an over-ambitious traffic cop.
I think a bicycle is a little more manuverable in NYC traffic.
Not lately, but thanks for the compliment.
cmu — has anyone every called you a smug, self righteous, close minded, overbearing know-it-all?
Just curious…
Sorry bkgrl, have to disagree and stop with the ‘men…’ bashing. From the age of 9mo. to 4yrs, I was primary caretaker of my son (and continuing later, but less so.) When I moved here I had a stroller and got rid of it asap. Admittedly, I was not here when my son was pre-toddler, but I stand by my statements.
And as for saving money: not having a car I save at least $500/month. How much shopping at CostCo is that? And finally, at even my not-in-the-hedge-fund income level, bulk-shopping makes no difference to me; I’d rather not spend the time to go to CostCo, and to support local merchants.
This used to be a great city before all the retards turned it into “Clown Town”!
This is the main reason why when this crash happen I will cheer it on. Some people need to have their asses kicked. Bike lanes restrict the flow of traffic and make it MORE dangerous for bikers.
GOD bless New York and God Bless Brooklyn..

Men love to claim its not that difficult to drag a kid on and off the subway with all attendant gear. Of course the majority of them aren’t the ones who deal with it day to day on the subway and woman don’t usually have the same strength a man does. (er….brute force, I should say :-). Having done the subway thing with my niece and nephew many times, and watched many a woman struggle up and down the stairs I call Bullsh*t on that one. I like you cmu- but that’s bs. And teach them to walk early- nice concept. Still gives you at least a year and a half and you still have to cart the gear because little legs get tired fast-especially going up and down stairs. It’s not like the tracks are right there when you walk into the station.
As far as Costco, Home Depot, Fairway, etc.- I can state for a fact you can and do save money if you can get there. Putting them in inaccessible places is stupid city planning- so blame those guys, not those of us who have to use or rent cars to get to them.
chicken, it’s probably because it aint cool – ie you aint going green with the motor plus he aint rolling in a sexy ride. practical? yeah, that aint a top priority for folks here
