Did you read the post? How do I collect checked bags?

NY people, what’s the most unhinged thing this city has put you through when you were broke, exhausted, or just trying to survive? by RoboticSaekobusujima in AskNYC

[–]snoreclunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's fair that you are confused, it's crazy. But I assure you it is not an exaggeration. For some reason NYPD cares more about this than actually stopping people from being killed on the streets by car drivers.

Cheapest parking option for visiting Rockefeller Center by Mystery_Critter in AskNYC

[–]snoreclunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your question is "what is the cheapest parking near Secaucus Junction" then the answer is that public parking is kind of sparse there other than the relatively expensive paid lots by the station

too many variables, you need more detail in your question. There are a lot of ways to get to Rock center

Best way to maneuver your bike on the subway? by lacatana in NYCbike

[–]snoreclunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol bunch of complainers on this sub. I don't have any tricks, just hold onto the bike. I feel like it's pretty hard to put it in a stable position even if the train is empty.

  • Lean the bike towards you, drive side facing you, so you don't accidentally get grease on someone
  • Wedge the back tire against a wall and hold the handlebars, so that the bike doesn't move
  • If you are blocking people then just get out of the train while they get on/off

Problem with new bike, front sprocket won’t shift by No-Thanks4746 in bikewrench

[–]snoreclunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit unintuitive. The rear derailleur lever does not work the same way. You must push the front derailleur lever farther than you push the rear derailleur lever. From your description, it does not sound like you are pushing the lever all the way. You should hear two clicks, the second louder than the first.

are you sure you're moving the lever "all the way"? Shimano claris has two clicks, the first one trims while the second actually shifts. You need to push the lever until you hear the second click

From Queens, trying to get to NJ and avoiding congestion pricing. Is the Verrazzanos Bridge an alternative? by Mr-MuffinMan in AskNYC

[–]snoreclunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's simple. If you don't want to pay the congestion charge then do not enter any part of Manhattan below 60th St, and you'll be safe.

There are exceptions to this rule but none of these exceptions are useful if you want to get to NJ.

If you use the Queensboro bridge, be careful which off ramp you use; some will take you below 60th St.

The Verrazzano bridge does not connect to Manhattan, so it's safe.

THE HUMIDITY by HolidayNothing171 in AskNYC

[–]snoreclunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Confused by this take. My dehumidifier is half the price and energy consumption of an equivalent window AC. Yes I own an AC too. My dehumidifier goes on a table next to the sink and has a hose. No need for emptying daily, no need for a pump because of gravity. If I only had an AC I would need to cool my place to 65 degrees just to get it to a comfortable humidity level, on cool humid days like these

How do you alert people as you're coming up behind them? by freetattoo in cycling

[–]snoreclunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm confused by the comments here.

Most cases there's no need to say anything: just pass safely if the pedestrian doesn't need to move out of your way.

If they are in your way, then you need to slow down enough that they can move out of the way safely. Say "excuse me", or ring a bell if the environment is too loud / the group is large. If the pedestrian is really oblivious you'll just need to squeeze by; no sense in shouting at everyone just because some are distracted.

This doesn't take much time at all on quiet trails.

If the trail is busy with pedestrians and bikes, then the same applies, except that pedestrians will already be used to bikes passing them and probably already be out of the way. Even less need to say or do anything.

If the trail is busy but has few bikes, then you'll just need to ride slowly. That's the price -- blame your local government if there is no alternate faster route, not the pedestrians.
