DOT Greens a New Bike Lane on 9th Street
The DOT’s green paint-wielding fairies have been busy in yet another section of the borough: A new royal road to Red Hook has been established on 9th Street from Smith to the BQE. GMAP

At least if you eat the pavement your breath will be minty fresh…
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.
CMU, I work in NJ and there’s a costco, walmart,… right next to me and those are the ones I frequent more often. while in BK, I only go to BJ’s once in a while (to do some massive inventory reload). Fairway – that one I go often since I’m close by or hang out nearby in cobble hill often. BTW, my little bugger is pretty young and the stroller is mainly for when he wants to sleep. I’m not saying people need a car in NYC but I can’t be convinced otherwise that having a car is NOT a positive. BTW, parking in clinton hill is super super easy.

2-It’s not that hard to take kids on the bus/subway (well, unless you have a brood); and teach ’em to walk early so you get rid of the stroller.
please keep as many crotchfruits out the subway as possible. thank you!

My 2c. I think it’s nicer to have the bike lane because at least it will encourage people who will bike down that street anyway to stick to one side. I agree that sometimes people ignore the bike lane and go on the other side of the street though that happens more on Court (with the ambigious sporadic white arrows) versus Henry and Clinton which have clearly marked bright green lanes. I think traffic and bikers both behave more responsibly when there is a clearly marked lane.
CostCo & Fairway save tons of money for families.
“especially when one has little buggers who are not that old yet to roam independently. powering them up & down subway (hey hey, don’t forget the stroller, snack bag,….) is a biatch. those trips to the costco, BJ’s, fairway, etc no need to worry about how the f I’m going to bring all that stuff back home”
Greatly disappointed you buy into this rot, m4l. 1-Shop local, they deliver; I don’t understand why people DRIVE to Costco, waste time, DRIVE back and think they’ve saved money. 2-It’s not that hard to take kids on the bus/subway (well, unless you have a brood); and teach ’em to walk early so you get rid of the stroller.
I have a motorbike so I’m better than all of you…
ugh Hannah Montana is so last month. iCarly is much better.
