Rush Hour in Brooklyn
This was a first for us: En route to the office this morning we encountered actual congestion in the bike lane along Navy Street, though the strikingly homogeneous group of riders remained quite civil as they pulled up to the intersection and waited, law-abidingly, for the light to turn green.

To get to the other side of the bike track in Prospect Park!!I thought i was safer there then on the roads,but not once but twice mommie brain appeared out of no where with her stroller and little toto.Skipping with glee in her eye as she looked mesmerized by the green grass on the other side.
I then realize road burn can come in many different shapes,sizes and locations in Brooklyn.The streets aren’t AS frightening now.

that’s my brooklyn for you. while families gather for preschool graduation at a lovely little school on a tree-lined street, the cops are investigating a hit-and-run-down of a crossing guard.

*rob*
This photo has to be staged.
Has anyone EVER seen 6 bikes stopped at a light? All with helmets? Unless there is a cop out of the frame or a great rush of cars just pasted. Or it’s a photo-op, propaganda crew of Transportation Alternatives conspicuously exemplary bicyclists.
Well they are all wearing helmets.
So perhas he means only uncool people follow bike rules.
ditto, that right-most dude might be Asian
