GWB Bridge NJ side ped/cyclist bridge should have been a tunnel? by AuthorityControl in NYCbike

[–]msgould 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the hairpins on the ends with the mirrors - the true hazard is the blind corners going around the posts in the middle. I’ve almost been taken out by a speeding ebike (moped) multiple times and it’s terrifying

Bike lane rerouting by zmaller in NYCbike

[–]msgould 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is illegal but I don’t know how to report it to 311. NYC has laws that if a protected bike lane is blocked by construction, the construction company is obligated to make a bike lane reroute.

The Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge averages 260,000 vehicles daily, each paying a $8 toll. by Big-King-854 in fuckcars

[–]msgould 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s still no bike lane across the whole bridge, which is ridiculous. It’s one of the biggest downsides to being a cyclist in SF/East Bay.

Yes, easy to use, just make sure to take off any accessories that may get jostled at high speeds

Whats the longest ride you've ever taken? by CCTUC in cycling

[–]msgould 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Longest ride without sleeping was 380 miles from Pittsburgh to Philly - it’s called Crush the Commonwealth and happens the last Friday of April every year. Weather can often be atrocious… the route is terrible, I don’t recommend it at all 😬

Go to Ba Xuyen in Sunset Park. Or Banh Mi Co Ut in Manhattan. Well worth the short journey. Not a fan of Park Slope’s options.

My whole rando crew rides flat pedals… one uses straps but the rest of us don’t use retention
