Friday’s Headlines: Weird Things in Bike Lanes Edition
Thursday night was our Streetsblog holiday party, so we’re in no condition to deliver a long speech before the news. Except…
Our friend, Alfred Ng, sent us this photo of two horses in a bike lane, so we decided it was worth a crowd-source kind of tweet:
We found out that pretty much everything ends up in the Fourth Avenue bike lane in Sunset Park. “What do you NOT find in 4th BK 🚲 lane?” asked Bike New York.
So there you go.
In other news from a very slow yesterday:
- What a fun Thursday morning it was for MTA officials, who were on Fifth Avenue personally busting bus lane blockers. (NYDN, amNY)
- Steer with a beef on the tracks in Jersey. (NYDN, NY Post, NY Times)
- The Tribeca Citizen and Brooklyn Paper went to the MTA yard sale in Coney.
- Why isn’t the mainstream media paying more attention to the 28th cyclist death of the year, Kenny DeForest? (Streetsblog, Brooklyn Paper)
- Can we just leave Bill de Blasio alone? (NY Post)
- Finally, look, we mention our annual fundraising appeal every day in this spot, but we also celebrate the benefactors from the previous day. And here we go: Thanks, Kinh! Thanks, Alexander! Thanks, Jared! Thanks, Joseph! Thanks, Patti! Want to join their ranks? Click below.
