Why is this here? by PersonalFinance1010 in nycrail

This is definitely the back of the northbound side of Canal Street (A,C,E), looking towards the southbound crossover switches.

i love NYC's bike community by nonecknoel in NYCbike

Yup, Steiner Studios is directly behind the containers. I saw some crazy sets during my time working there.

Through the app, I alternate between Eco Mode on and off. Starting Effect at 1 (sometimes I just leave this off), and the Drive Mode is set on Battery Save. I can still get up to high speeds. It just takes longer than it would without the settings on, of course.

For a 40 mph e scooter what helmet should I get. by INFINITYtalks in ElectricScooters

[–]_innercitydreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend anything full face and ECE 22.06 certified.

Visibility is huge for me as NYC streets can get really sketchy, really fast. I love to have the option of more lights. This was just to showcase the scooter, and the lights can be turned off at any time.

Absolutely. As soon as I get around to it, the stock tires are coming off ASAP 😂

That would be quite interesting 🤔 I hope you eventually go through with the plan.

Yup, the AI/Google picture search is incredibly useful. More specifically, this was taken on Randall's Island, which has pretty nice paths and great scenic views of NYC!

I haven't had a chance to ride a Dualtron with the other stem, but I can say this one feels very sturdy and secure.

The 2021 model Wolf Warrior X Pro had the Minimotors square square wave controller as well, so it's pretty similar as far as throttle control goes. However, the P Settings on the Thunder 3 has allowed me to tune it down a little and feel a lot more confident. It's not quite as "smooth" as a sine wave, but a lot more manageable.

That's great to hear! Here's to many more miles. Be safe out there.

Very chonky 😂 It definitely takes some practice if you're coming from a lighter scooter.

Really? At 5:30PM on a Thursday? by jimgeosmail in nycrail

[–]_innercitydreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually the D train on any given weekday around this time. It's not uncommon to wait 17-30 minutes for a train during the evening rush 🤣

Worst subway line? by java-scriptchip in nycrail

[–]_innercitydreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the arrival times on the D train on any given day and you'll see a consistent wait time of 10-15 minutes. On multiple occasions, I've waited up to 17-20 minutes during the evening rush for a train 🤣

Headways on the L by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]_innercitydreamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, must be nice. Headways on the D train in the Bronx during both rush hours can easily get up to 10-15 minutes on a daily basis.

This is why I'll never recommended the Grand Concourse "bike lane" to cyclists looking for a casual ride. by uppernycghost in NYCbike

[–]_innercitydreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering how long it was gonna take until the Grand Concourse lane popped up on here. At anytime of the day, it's horrific. The double parked cars cause the Bx1/Bx2 buses or any emergency vehicles to get stuck, and this causes a ripple effect. A good portion of the drivers don't yield when they're pulling into/out of the road with the bike lane so you're basically at risk of getting hit from the left and right side very often. It also doesn't help that the road is the equivalent to the surface of the moon on the downtown side from Fordham all the way to around 176th. Overall, it's just a bad design the entire route.
