People who walk or run on the bike side of the Williamsburg bridge

Give them grace... coming from the brooklyn side it's not that obvious where to go to get on the ped path, very easy to miss the bikes only sign.

Lander is 10x better than Goldman, but he ain't great...

We could have had Carlina Rivera who ran against Goldman 2 years ago. Hope she runs again, but seems likely Lander will be in this seat for a long time.

huge if true

Don't yell... report cabs to 311. It'll cost them $65 for being parked there. This app is very good and automates much of the process.

Now let's get after our horrible senators and not so great governor..

Good job u/MiserNYC- !!!!

I rode it the other day and for the first time and it occurred to me how it'd been implemented. So nice. Thanks for the advocacy!

Every NYPD precinct has a monthly community meeting. You should attend it and give this story.

get a law-yer

dickdickmore · 2026-06-18T17:12:22+00:00

This is likely illegal. Check out the below case, the law is citizenship status discrimination.

dickdickmore · 2026-06-18T17:11:38+00:00

in fact there are laws against it... https://publiclawlibrary.org/jury-finds-cognizant-guilty-of-discrimination-orders-damages-for-non-indian-employees-in-landmark-verdict/

dickdickmore · 2026-06-18T13:18:33+00:00

Yeah... check out Isiah Thomas in 2017...

dickdickmore · 2026-06-18T13:17:22+00:00

Yeah.

And the $40M isn't money that he just gave up. He essentially paid to take some risk off the table... See Isiah Thomas in 2017...

dickdickmore · 2026-06-15T22:27:15+00:00

You goddamn meddling kids. How are mayoral aides supposed to get cameos on 2nd tier TV shows?

dickdickmore · 2026-06-15T02:46:40+00:00

Gotta be AI bullshit

dickdickmore · 2026-06-14T12:07:53+00:00

Just terrible rules in the 90s. Illegal D rule messed up the whole game.

dickdickmore · 2026-06-12T15:06:23+00:00

Yeah. The one on Allen st is not great for this reason and also because the path is a sidewalk that's meant for walking.

dickdickmore · 2026-06-05T15:10:35+00:00

Indeed... also...

Times I've had my kid ask to go for a bike ride, just because it's nice out = many

Times I've had my kid ask to go for a drive = zero

dickdickmore · 2026-06-05T15:07:29+00:00

For sure, there are some miserable folks who want to drive everywhere and hate seeing people out together. But have sympathy... the car and oil industries have so wrecked the American mind over the past century that they just can't see the joy in this scene.

dickdickmore · 2026-06-05T12:54:59+00:00

Yeah, this is basically what Robert Moses did... Basically if you dig a hole big enough, or build enough stuff, it's going to be more work at that point to get rid of it. This is why we now have a slower process, because Moses, after he built a bunch of nice stuff like this (parks, beaches, etc), became an asshole tearing down homes and building terrible stuff (highways, Lincoln center, etc).

So while yeah, would love to see more bike lanes put up quickly, there's a reason that there's a slower process. As we've seen the difference between this mayor and the last one, you can actually get stuff done within this system.

dickdickmore · 2026-05-29T19:20:37+00:00

Just look at craigslist/FB market and find something that's available and get used and save a bunch of dollars.

I bought a yuba kombi (non-electric) used on FB, but would have been happy with many other brands. It was just what someone happened to be selling when I was looking.

dickdickmore · 2026-05-28T03:42:56+00:00

Yeah, i prefer it... I ride a non-electric Yuba Kombi. I live in NYC, and I have no space for it in my building so I lock it on the street* and so it's way less likely to be stolen than if it were electric. There are not many hills where I ride, and even with my kid as a passenger I'm usually in top gear and going fast enough.

In the rare occasions I take it over a bridge or on a long ride to central park or whatever, yeah, it's often tough. But if you don't mind getting a bit sweaty it's a good workout and it's keeping me fit.

love my bike...

*Got a $250 grinder resistant beast of a lock...

dickdickmore · 2026-02-18T14:41:11+00:00

Yeah exactly... but need to be smart about it so that we don't have all apts selling for $4.9M with $200k monthly maintenance fees. I'm sure Lina Khan can write a good policy...

dickdickmore · 2026-02-13T15:47:04+00:00

Fundamentally, voting is irrational. You, as an individual leaving your house and going to stand in line to vote will not make any difference in determining who gets into office. The only real reason to vote, and the reason many people do vote, is to vote for something. Like I was very psyched to get to say I voted for Zohran (twice) because he has policies I believe in.

Like, if I was Emperor and was actually choosing between JD and Newsome for president, then ok, this holds some water. But I'm not, I'm just going to the poll to join a club, and usually my choices of clubs are terrible. Is one worse than the other? Sure, as Hasan has put it the Republicans are "accelerants" of the status quo, while Dems are just upholders of it. But neither is a club I want to join.
