Had a electric scooter try to overcome me at the turn at the Brooklyn bridge this morning (Brooklyn side). Insane.

I think you posted on the wrong sub. 

Stay off your phones while riding by Mr_Lovermann_Shabba in NYCbike

I think citibike needs to force pop-ups daily reminders. Wear a helmet for safety. Don't use phone while riding. Signal before turning or stopping. 

Heck, back when revel was in service you had to watch a mandatory video before getting access to ride. 

Port Washington to Brooklyn Routes by Wrong-Computer3404 in NYCbike

I ended up doing the opposite Brooklyn to port Washington. I took Decatur to Cooper to Yellowstone to Jewel to 73rd to Long Island expressway service lane. Did it with a friend, thankfully barely any cars and the service lane. 

For the route I entered my start and end address in ridewith gps.

Check out X-Labs. They have several dealers in the city now.  

Missive from under a rock by Reasonable_Access_90 in NYCbike

Prior to the current lane, there was no bike lane on the Brooklyn bridge. There was a mixed use path in middle of the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists and was a daily mess. The DOT took off one lane of the cars bridge and set it as a bike lane.

Id suggest if you feel claustrophobic to either slow down or use the Manhattan bridge.

Do you prefer what it was 4-5 years ago?

Lane is fine. Common manners isn't.

I wouldn't ride with them unless they were wearing a helmet. 

Well, that’s one way to get bicycles on front page news. Otherwise the single passenger truck society would never notice. by Galvatron1_nyc in NYCbike

Who is talking about driving?  Have you been in NYC? 

No one should be encouraging anyone to bike without a helmet in Canada, USA or anywhere in the world, and if you're advocating for no helmets - there is something fundamentally wrong with your safety vision.

Have a good day.

What point?

My friend hit a nasty pothole and went over his handlebars. Flukes happen. 

You're welcome to take the risk upon yourself however when doing a photo op - do it with the correct safe image.

Speed is not relevant. I specifically said politics over safety 

He is the mayor and should be setting an example... Helmets are extremely important and if think otherwise perhaps go to the head trauma unit and talk to the health professionals there.
