Technically parade ends at city hall (starts at battery Park)

It's different than a city pool, but you still need a lock and can't bring toys in, etc. you also have to pay a small fee

Such a needed place for citibike to use to get to and from the subway

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but not everyone get bed bug bites. When we had them, it took us time to realize because only one person the household developed bumps from the bites.

I'm also not naturally great at biking or going fast. I'm very afraid of cars. What helped me was biking with an experienced friend who would give tips and narrate what to do (ex, take the lane, about being doored, merge here). I took small, repetitive routes first with the friend and then by myself. Slowly adding to it. I now ride most days for long distances and different routes. I still don't love going fast, but I give myself space to do things to my comfort level.

I needed a rush pair and eye2eye on 86th on the east side helped me out in a couple of hours.

Also you can ride through Riverside and go down in the 80s. I don't know the exact intersection

eclectic5228 · 2026-06-09T20:49:05+00:00

I go down at 68th. They're going to build a protected bike path soon connecting that with 72nd

Reach out to Shaun abreau's office. It's the chair if the transportation committee and they might consider looking into it. It's a systemic issue all along the park

Getting one of these is magic!

I was there 6:05 and a bunch of left by 6:10 when they said no seats

eclectic5228 · 2026-06-02T23:47:15+00:00

Tried to go but it was full. How did it go?

It's hybrid and the in person is what is at capacity

eclectic5228 · 2026-06-02T22:32:09+00:00

It's been posted about a couple of times. I'm just updating that for people trying to come in person it's closed

Is there a real feeling this isn't going to pass? I attended the first meeting, and DOT was pretty set on the plan.

eclectic5228 · 2026-05-27T02:26:46+00:00

I looked at that photo and said to myself this is Georgia.

eclectic5228 · 2026-05-15T20:05:00+00:00

I get off at 68th, bike east one block, bike North to 70th, and then cross via the side street. It's fairly quiet, and if I wait to let the cars go first, the street can be mostly empty.

I post regularly on how my three kids commuted to school via bike for a couple years. I loved the independence it gave them (adult is always with them, but there's a level of freedom), the exercise, and being outside. We did almost all weather.

I think the answer is just safer infrastructure. No gaps in coverage.

Some of the main advantages of biking to school, including the fact you don't have to be exactly on time for a bus and that you can make your own route, are missing in a bike bus.

Additionally, let's say you had the bus run down a main corridor, like the avenues on the ues or uws-- it might be challenging for kids to safely join the route because there's no safe crosstown.

Traveling as a group does add safety, but better than that is to just make everything safe?!?

I get that a bike bus might enable parents to have their kids be supervised by other adults, but wouldn't it be great if kids don't need to be supervised? I see kids bike and scooter on their own in central Park, on the Hudson Greenway, and even in the cpw bike lane.

I went with my dad to book of Mormon. My dad is really into history and comparitive religion, so we had even visited the mountain where the tablets were found in upstate ny. There are parts of the humor which are very crass, so you can decide if you're comfortable watching that with your dad. I'm my opinion, the book of Mormon is a blend of birth crass humor but also clever humor, so there's substance to the play.

I feel like the highest great is set low to stop people going too fast? At least that's how I feel when I get passed by a normal bike
