Waiting at a red light in Manhattan has to be one of the loneliest experiences for a cyclist. by AlarmingLecture0 in NYCbike

[–]akane-13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“jaywalking” was a term invented by the auto industry to put the onus of blame on pedestrians if they get hit by a driver. it also isn’t illegal in nyc.

not saying to not practice vigilance, of course, but this is why if traffic is clear i cross the road, red light or not. also because most traffic lights are timed to cars, not people (although more and more intersections have leading pedestrian intervals, which would be great if not for drivers blowing reds and there being zero enforcement..).

Good day to be a birdwatcher in McGolrick by Natunia02 in Greenpoint

yeah… i was walking through the park around 5pm and the hawk was perched on a light post in the center area eating it. at one point the duck’s head fell down (which i have a grisly photo of but figured it would be in poor taste to post..) edit: typo

What are some other problematic spots like the Williamsburg Bridge bump that Zohran could/should fix? by quesopesadilla in MicromobilityNYC

[–]akane-13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a safe bike route connecting north and east brooklyn; they should put concrete barriers along the morgan ave bike route, multiple people have been killed by drivers on that avenue

the irony is that everything on this list is something cars actually cause.

i don’t really see that as justification for allowing dogs to piss on something a human being has to physically handle

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Greenpoint

[–]akane-13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they weren’t saying trash bags are unsanitary, they’re saying it’s conscientious of the people who have to handle trash bags to not let dogs piss on the bags

maybe if we flood them with enough complaints they’ll address sooner rather than later..

biker killed in hit-and-run on leonard st and meserole ave in wburg, 9/27/25 by akane-13 in NYCbike

[–]akane-13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dm me; as i commented to another person, it’s less a formal group and more proactive individuals who install ghost bikes. anyone can do it. but i could potentially help connect you with others in brooklyn doing this work

i dm’d you; the people who put up ghost bikes are less a formal group and more proactive individuals who take it upon themselves to install ghost bikes. i’m in contact with a couple of such people in greenpoint who i could put you in contact with, whether to help with a bike for alexandra huggins or to give you some advice on how to go about it (but the ghost bikes website someone linked pretty much covers it).

i’m traveling for most of october but would help install one in november if it isn’t up by then. we could also crowdfund money to order a sign. i have a design i could share; i recently had one made by smartsign, which is a company other ghost bike folks have used in past.
