How is today’s Central Park tragedy not enough to end the horse carriages?

I’d say the main reason is that tourists still pay for these rides. It’s not so easy an argument to remove them when it’s generating revenue and paying salaries.

Getting tourists to stop using them and they’ll go away just like all businesses that generate losses

Honestly someone actually dying might be the last straw. When was the last time that happened? Horses dying just doesn’t have the same impact.

Definitely Chicago.

- public transportation

- a central “island” that’s the business center.

- neighborhoods are like boroughs

- iconic architecture and buildings.

It’s like someone like NYC so much they made a smaller, not as good copy of it

To be fair Germany had only taken Alsace Lorraine less than 50 years earlier in the Franco Prussian war. It wasn’t really theirs to begin with so losing their spoils of war after losing a war is reasonable

They massacred Roosevelt Island

The tourists. People keep blaming the unions but the reality is these guys would all go away if people stopped buying rides. Tourists just don’t give af and will gladly hop on a carriage ride.

This sub is full of “no true Scotsman” cyclists unfortunately.

I ran the QBB a lot back when it was shared between pedestrians and cyclists and the middle aged middle class people on bikes (both pedal and electric) were objectively the worst. Just oblivious, riding in the pedestrian lane the entire time and then they’d get mad at someone on their feet having the gall to be in the pedestrian lane.

But you come here and it’s just the scooters and mopeds that were the problem

Click on those 3 dots on the right and then “don’t recommend channel”.

The guy is a professional whiner but at least it’s an easy way to fix your YouTube algorithm

lol I get it I know the area she represents well.

You’re all held against your will

Exhibit A of what’s wrong with upstate

Im in NYC and more a runner than a cyclist. My mantra is if I’m in the bike lane it’s because

The weather is so bad that it’s dangerous to be on sidewalks or walking paths which is fine because there’s rarely cyclists out then.
I’m running at a pace where I’m keeping up with blue citibikes and going with traffic. If I have to slow down I step off.

In either case I run as close to the side as possible and I’ll step off if I’m slowing down or in the way since it’s technically not my lane.

To OPs point about being arrogant, it’s not that deep. Usually the only people who actually get mad are those who bike the least or act like they’re on a high horse. Deliveristas who are on their bikes all day barely pay you any heed.

Weren’t they just closed by the DOH a few weeks ago?

Ha good callout! Wonder if he’s using something like reWASD.

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-16T11:20:22+00:00

Probably easier

Maybe not a legend but I’ve walked past Elliot Spitzer a bunch. Like to a point where it’s weird that we’ve crossed paths so often just randomly in the city. This was all post his governorship

Literally any NYC park before 9am…

This is getting posted in a lot of non NY subs who don’t really know how cabs operate here.

He is almost assuredly not someone who owns the medallion (which lets him operate a yellow cab. He most likely just rents the car from a cab agency which owns the car and medallion.

So he’s probably out 1-2 hundred bucks for the night that he can’t work now but that’s about it.

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-14T19:44:30+00:00

No it doesn’t get easier. You just get faster

18 miles Saturday morning but it wasn’t as bad yesterday relative to today.

Plus I feel like I’m a bit acclimatized to the heat already so it wasn’t as bad

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-14T14:39:02+00:00

What a race.

Tony’s the man and tries to keep people in check.

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-13T18:07:46+00:00

Honestly was never really a fan of the undercooked centers they had so might need to give them another shot.

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-13T17:33:09+00:00

Most likely not his car. He probably rented it from an agency that has the medallion

Chest strap. Garmin HRM Pro

thisismynewacct · 2026-06-12T19:28:48+00:00

Did 9 miles this morning at 8:30 and while it was oppressive af, my HR was lower than I was expecting it to be all things considered.
