The companies selling legal and safe e-bikes need to be much more vocal about this, otherwise pedal-assist bikes that top out at, say, 18 mph are either going get swept up in a broad ban of all e-thingies or find themselves subject to licensing and registration, which would be a de facto ban.

Look at the language used by the manufacturer to describe this thing: "Built to Match The Freeway." "...like a wolf in a tailored suit, poised to strike." "Built to Rule the Streets." "...explosive power..." This is how Dodge describes its vehicles, too. Sociopathic.

“Here is what this entire debate keeps dancing around. The physics of vehicle collisions are not a political opinion. A child struck at 20 mph has a strong chance of surviving. At 30 mph that probability drops sharply. At 40 mph it becomes…funeral arrangements” patch.com/connecticut/...

This is malpractice on the part of Long Island officials, or at least far too many of them. There are some 50 LIRR trains a day between Ronkonkoma and NYC, and the area straddling Ronkonkoma Station and MacArthur Airport could sustain thousands of units of housing. www.newsday.com/opinion/the-...

Thanks to @carlinarivera.bsky.social for authoring the Council bill that made this the law! And to the companies that implement it properly.

My Statement on Mayor Mamdani’s Housing Plan

What was the point of states creating a 3 tier system of classification for e-bikes if manufacturers, journalists, parents, and the public in general are just going to call mini motorcycles “e-bikes”? www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The crucial 6PPD tire additive that just won’t quit messing w our fish. It’s why swapping combustion engines for ev’s just isn’t enough. https://www.epa.gov/chemical-research/6ppd-quinone https://phys.org/news/2025-07-car-polluting-environment-salmon-global.html Hello Bikers 🚴‍♀️

I would vote for a Logan’s Run law in Seattle, even if the age cutoff took me along with these weirdos.

Waiting on the Hudson River Park Trust to follow suit. www.amny.com/new-york/ice...

"They're raising prices in places where demand is highest and lowering prices in places where demand is lowest" is a concept everyone understands and generally accepts *except* when it comes to pricing anything to do with cars and driving.

This is one reason why the belief that replacing curbside parking with bike lanes will kill small businesses is rooted more in car ideology than fact. You can't pause every few feet to window shop when you're driving, much less pop in every store that catches your eye.

"Mayor Mamdani has earmarked more than $200MM in new funding in his executive budget for bus lanes, bike lanes and public realm projects over the next four years, continuing to make good on a campaign that centered better and safer ways for NYers to get around." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/19/m...

It's unclear exactly what this will mean for the people of the South Bronx. Halting any potential highway expansion is a good thing, but the communities along the Cross Bronx Expressway still need serious mitigation efforts aimed at improving health and the environment.

If nothing else, NYC may get another graphic reminder that cars don't scale out of this LIRR strike. There's currently a 23 mile traffic jam building as rush hour beings...

Tomorrow morning!

A bunch of people held a protest about a traffic calming project on 72nd Street just last week. One of the complaints was that people might get hit by bikes.

Mayor Mamdani's Executive Budget boosts funding for the NYC Streets Plan. www.amny.com/news/nyc-bud...

"Central Brooklyn businesses hope Mayor Mamdani will make it his business to extend Flatbush Avenue’s new bus lanes south of Prospect Park." nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/14/c...

New Yorkers, in large numbers, want to dine outside, and restaurants want to serve them, but the permitting process is ridiculously slow. Kudos to @nyccomptroller.bsky.social Mark Levine for digging into the problem and looking to get it unstuck.

This is when it becomes most clear that paint (and transient parked vehicles) aren’t true protection. Put concrete in the ground that doesn’t disappear when repaving happens.

No Long Island Railroad service in or out of Penn Station through at least tomorrow morning's rush hour, and not a word about it on The New York Times's home page, or anywhere on its website. Remarkable erosion in its local news coverage.

Congratulations to Carl Wilson, now officially the City Council Member for Manhattan's 3rd District!

Our very own @subtle116.bsky.social lays out a compelling argument for why it's time to go big with Bike Buses. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/12/o...

They really shouldn’t let you drive an ambulance if you do this (note the driver inside Blank Street, getting coffee) howsmydrivingny.nyc/v1ml3qqt

Congestion pricing is too important a policy to not get right. Creating undue burdens on environmental-justice communities in the state's least healthy county must be addressed more effectively. The MTA & other city & state agencies need to double down on mitigations. gothamist.com/news/congest...

Elections matter. Pick the right leaders. #NewYork #Mamdani

Looks like some really great news coming out of Albany. Thanks to @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social for getting on board with the effort to Stop Super Speeders. gothamist.com/news/state-t...

More people need to bring the spirit of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to the mayoralty

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine. We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave. It was a wonderful kind of day.

“Not so long ago, a lot of these ideas seemed like they were crazy, and today, a mayor who rides a bike for fun and for transportation is just another part of New York.” view.lists.wnyc.org?vawpToken=CU...

Undeniably, automated Bus Camera Enforcement is working - violations are down even as the MTA continues to expand bus camera rollout over the past year.

In a functioning society, Kotlikoff would already have been arrested and at least suspended from his position.

A day late on this, but May 1st was the one-year anniversary of our endorsement interview with then-NYC mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Less than 2 miles away from here a driver murdered a man this morning by deliberately driving up on the sidewalk and running him over. But “bike activists” need to stop “demonizing” drivers?…..

An instant "bikelash" classic via the masters of the genre at the New York Post. nypost.com/2026/05/01/u...

"The busy five-way Williamsburg intersection where a 9-year-old boy was killed by the driver of a school bus Friday morning lacked crosswalk markings at the time of the tragedy." Not the only reason this poor kid was killed, but re-marking has to happen much faster. gothamist.com/news/hectic-...

New York State Assembly Speaker appears to be the only obstacle to passing the life-saving Stop Super Speeders bill in the state budget. Call his office at 518-455-3791 and ask him to Stop protecting Super Speeders. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/n...

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives. I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.

That's what I'm talking about, but only WITH the #bikenyc lane

The security argument is a canard. There's a huge garage across the street in the Marriott, which has to be a much safer place for revenge-fearing judges to park than a place that everyone knows is where judges park their cars. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/n...

Any driver who receives 16+ speeding tickets in a single year should no longer be allowed to exceed the speed limit. Some of these super speeders — including Office James Giovansanti — have received HUNDREDS of speed camera tickets. New York must slow them down.

Natasha Saada and her two young daughters are just three examples of people who would be alive today if Super Speeders like Miriam Yarimi were compelled to install ISA devices in their cars. What more does @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social need to include this life-saving bill in the state budget?
