In the Netherlands, cycling and public transport aren’t competitors—they’re teammates. Invest in one, and the other gets stronger. Nowhere is this clearer than at railway stations, where every design decision sharpens the bike infrastructure network and makes the door-to-door journey even smoother.

The city does a crap job *managing* its bike network in good weather, so no surprise it comes up short w the extra problem of persistent snow To me, whether Mamdani makes a difference in *keeping lanes clear* is a lot more important to #bikenyc than hitting a number in the Street Plan law

The numbers show that, even as the Department of Sanitation leaves bike lanes across the city unplowed, people on bikes need them — whether to safely make deliveries for wages or simply to get around.

When you build cycling into the lives of residents and businesses, you then have to maintain the lane network, the greenways, bike share and bike parking 365 days a year in all conditions

Continuing threat of total idiots in charge of federal agencies

That feeling when you’ve cleared 99.9% of a bikeway & still left it dangerous

Uhhh #bikenyc

This is all right on, by @annieweinstock.bsky.social Though I think it's DOT, not Lyft, who should issue a report on the geography of CitiBike usage

It’s amazing how every Republican feels like they have permission to be a nasty POS all the time now

Hard to fathom why new DOT leadership isn't weeding out these regressive Adams-era decisions

Had a great ride with Dave around Islington in 2011, including a look at some of the borough's *cycle-permeable routes* So sorry to hear this news

Went to work delivering @bikeabilityuk.bsky.social for @rideleicester.bsky.social yesterday. My colleague had sad news. #DavidDansky who taught him to be an instructor had died & the funeral was yesterday. The Trust shared this video of gentle giant of #cycling training. youtu.be/apmuc4KV7Ek?...

What will become of the Amtrak executive's plans for Penn Station under President Trump? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/06/a...

Fuck these guys.

This was 🚘-free for 5 years until Adams brought back traffic on his way out, as a favor for fellow cars-first Republicans. It’s a no brainer for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to restore

Today in Richmond Hill, 75+ neighbors showed up to march and rally for a permanently car-free Freedom Dr. in Forest Park. Locals families, kids, older adults, runners, cyclists, and disability justice leaders shared why they need people-first park roads. @ny4p.bsky.social was happy to support.

Really nice photo-doc of anti-ICE protests in Portland ME mainetheway.substack.com/p/field-note...

Then they came for the jobs of the morons @gothamist.com

"many streets in the outer boroughs experience foot-traffic levels comparable with those in central Manhattan but remain undercategorized for pedestrian priority... intersections with the highest pedestrian injury risk are often outside Manhattan, where exposure-adjusted danger is the greatest"

I like this because it doesn't create the 1st class/2nd class transit categories that paid subways/free buses would do - key is streamlining/agressively promoting sign-up @nyc.streetsblog.org

It will be interesting to see what @nyserda.bsky.social decided to fund in this round, because this is proven in a variety of U.S. jurisdictions in reducing emissions & car trips and had its origins as response to subsidize-the-rich electric car incentives

Believe all these guys when they act like they’re in a war against America. They think they are.

CitiBike's default approach to snow has always been "wait til it melts," but Lyft's semi-management seems to make it even worse (on top off all the fee hikes) You'd think w the whole CitiBike contract up for its first-ever total re-bid in 2029 that Lyft would start turning in a better performance

It's good that Janno & the chair yelled at Mattera, who seems like a true POS nypost.com/2026/02/03/u...

Great stuff from @emilyassembly.bsky.social, keeping pressure on all-door bus boarding The MTA has been largely allowed to get away with making "faster buses" the city's job while punting on stuff within its own power @estarkmiller.bsky.social

How long would it have to stay cold for us to be able to walk across the surface of Newtown Creek?

Cyclists continue to have their day in court amid the continuing wave of NYPD criminal summonses for basic moving violations — but most are being dismissed by the judiciary, making the whole dog and pony show seem like a waste of time for all involved. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/03/c...

The LIC 11th St #bikenyc lane, coming & going on the 9th day since ❄️

Legislators addicted to the ridiculous theme of congestion pricing "discounts"

Charlie on how affordable & expanded transit is not either/or (& the radically different time scales for the two) (photo credit and a re-quote!) @nyc.streetsblog.org

ICE targeted transit stations

This is interesting news & good argument. I had no idea the Newburgh-Beacon boat had been kiboshed @streetsblognys.bsky.social

Early concerns suggested congestion pricing could worsen traffic in the Bronx, Brooklyn and New Jersey. Bloomberg reviewed the data and found drivers outside the congestion zone are actually seeing benefits. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A week after the major snow storm, let's see how the city has done on clearing the streets and bike lanes

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Didn’t get great pics bc I can’t bike with one hand but the NYC ride for Alex Pretti was huge—this is the back! My favorite part was biking through another protest and all of us cheering for each other

Seldom-seen view of one half of the Pulaski drawbridge open

Melania’s first screening in Times Square draws four people, at least three of them professional critics. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

This is legitimately one of the scariest sections of city to ride. I’ve had vans try to run me down while swerving around double parked cars.

Love a photo credit, but these are weirdly out of context! They show how huge Neptune Ave is, and that NYC could easily do protected lanes/greenway there -finally, finally connecting the big greenway gap thru Coney Island #bikenyc #greenways4NYC @brooklyneagle.bsky.social

Note to @mayor.nyc.gov: *Chief savings officers* will agree: Cheap to implement & maintain, saves wear & tear and generate revenue! @nyc.streetsblog.org

KRUGMAN: “.. It’s a humiliating day for the Federal Reserve. .. Donald Trump thinks he looks the part. “.. Warsh’s colleagues will largely ignore him, albeit without expressing their contempt ..” @pkrugman.bsky.social paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...

@dannyintransit.bsky.social is right that we should have both affordable transit and active plans to expand NYC's rail system. But it's hard to picture a realized free bus program now, following recent budget presentations by both Mayor & Governor

We're excited to endorse Diana Moreno and Keith Powers for NYS State Assembly in February 3rd's special election! Read more about our endorsement of @dianaforqueens.com and @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social here: www.streetspac.org/diana_moreno...

Hidden bidding process under an administration known for its endless shakedown schemes & nakedly corrupt, self-dealing behavior. What could go wrong? @nyc.streetsblog.org

Andy Byford, once NYC Transit’s “train daddy” and now the Amtrak official charged with overseeing the Penn Station redesign, said today that he needs to “fully come up to speed” on dire warnings about the Gateway Tunnel project's impending pause. www.amny.com/news/penn-st...

Mood in minneapolis right now

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Anne Hidalgo's positive impact on Parisian public space has been huge. But the ultimate significance of her leadership on mobility justice is global: demonstrating what is possible really highlights the commitment of other mayors to convenience for car owners at the expense of everyone else.
