a year's worth of citibike rides for less than the price of a monthly metrocard (rip)

Good news for our friends in Bay Ridge and beyond who are interested in a @citibikenyc.bsky.social membership, but don’t want to pay $220 for it. Lyft is offering a half-off deal right now.

When the avid cyclist rises to speak in opposition to bike lanes.

For the afternoon crowd: I don’t know how to explain to you that you should stop at red lights nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...

People think "politics" is what you say, but politics is in fact how you wield power. In that sense, driving a car is one of the most profound ways to reveal what your actual politics are. How people drive reveals the sickness at the heart of our society: wanting power, but not responsibility.

The Owl's Head bike path linking the Wakeman/2nd Avenue connectors to the Shore Parkway Greenway closed today for reconstruction, to reopen in two weeks. Some questions worth getting answers for:

The NYC Streets Plan law requires the city to build 250 miles of protected bike lanes by 2026. Here’s a suggestion for 4 miles of bike lanes that the next mayor will have to add to meet that goal. (Text via homes.luddy.indiana.edu/ccshan/for/f...)

The next mayor should extend the Fourth Ave. bike lane to Cannonball Park. www.bikesbk.org/campaigns/fi...

How many election cycles will we have to repeat this before council members learn that cars and parking spaces aren’t a big enough constituency to win elections?

You should ride your bike to vote. findmypollsite.vote.nyc

Marathon Eve reminds us that the City of New York has the technology and know-how to not just tow cars, but tow a lot of them in a short amount of time. They just choose not to because that might be a cop’s car.

R train is haunted, better grab a Citi Bike.

Just putting this out there: if you’re looking for an excuse to ride a CitiBike around Bay Ridge, there’s a dock right next to the early polling place at Fort Hamilton High School. www.nycvotes.org/how-to-vote/...

Citi Bike has finally reached Bay Ridge. Now we need some better bike infrastructure to handle the coming surge in ridership. Sign the petition to extend the Fourth Ave bike lane from 64th St. to Cannonball Park. www.bikesbk.org/campaigns/fi...

Thank you to everyone who came out for a Citi Bike victory lap around Bay Ridge yesterday!

Nobody using CitiBikes. Nobody using the Seventh Ave. bike lane.

SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLANS: We’re going to meet at 83rd St. & Colonial Road. (The dock at the planned meeting spot hasn’t been installed yet)

You’ve got one day left to RSVP for our Citi Bike victory lap around Bay Ridge. 3 p.m., Saturday, 86th & Shore Road. Click the link: www.bikesbk.org/event/2025-c...

Cars with illegal modifications, uninsured and unregistered or committing rate evasion, flying around our local streets at 50, 70, 100+ mph NYPD and city leaders: crack down on ebikes going 18 mph delivering treats to vengeful rich people

Bay Ridge cyclists, you called your CM & you spoke at community meetings in support of this. You earned your victory lap. Hope to see you there! Deets/RSVP: www.bikesbk.org/event/2025-c...

Thanks for keeping the crosswalk clear, Crossing Guard Supervisor.

Nothing short of a massacre and entirely preventable. An elderly male driver put his car in reverse and slammed on the gas, striking three people who were on the sidewalk, killing one and sending the other two to hospitals. Why is an old man driving an SUV anyway??

When the opposition to this park was at its peak and people were complaining about the loss of trees or telling Carlina Rivera to resign, all I could think was that this, too, would pass — as it always does. Change is hard. Then you get something new and awesome and everything is fine in the end.

Driving a car in New York City.

Throwback to when a local 78-year-old driver ran over three fellow seniors within a week.

Bound to happen when we build our lifestyles around the need for automobiles.

One can hope that the decision to allow the Adams administration to remove a protected bike lane could be used for good by future mayors

Last week, drivers ran over two high school students on Narrows Ave. in Bay Ridge. Narrows Ave. is an overly wide street with fewer traffic control devices than parallel streets making it a favorite alternate route for impatient and speeding drivers. brooklyn.news12.com/2-teen-pedes...

“We are pro-car. We just think all these extra lanes and on-street parking spaces are a bad idea”

I agree with this and it’s why the city should use its leverage to require all new TLC licensed vehicles have ISA to eliminate speeding.

This is good news. A few vehicles with Intelligent Speed Assist can have an outsized impact on safety bc they’ll also prevent vehicles behind them from speeding. www.nyc.gov/site/dcas/ne...

Citi Bikes’s expansion into Bay Ridge is underway! Join us for a celebratory ride 3 p.m. Oct. 25. 86th St. & Shore Road RSVP: www.bikesbk.org/event/2025-c...

The cost of riding your bike will remain the same.

While Paris was busy creating 300 pedestrianized and low-traffic school streets, New York did absolutely nothing to address the perpetually unsafe conditions caused by parents driving their kids to school—a hazard they know exists.

DOT blatantly disregarded their own public comment process. Over 90% of over 650 online comments on NYC’s rulemaking website opposed this rule. Despite this overwhelming opposition, DOT says: "no changes were made to this rule in response to the comments received."

Trump is rescinding road safety grants all over the country, in blue states and red ones. The reason: those projects are "hostile" to cars. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Perfection.

The cops aren’t going to write themselves parking tickets. But you can report placard abuse and falsified 311 complaints to [email protected] and [email protected]. CC: the local council member’s office when you do.

Today is your last chance to tell CB 7 you want a bike lane on McDonald Ave.

“This is a great addition to the neighborhood,” said resident Jeffrey Diamond. “The more transit options, the better. We now have it all. Subway, buses, ferry and now CitiBike.” brooklynreporter.com/2025/09/dot-...

Good stuff. And this merely counts people who "primarily" take a bike to work. If you bike to a train and then to work or only use a bike to take the kids to school or get groceries, you're not counted. Add that in and we're making some excellent progress. Lots more to do, of course!

2024 American Community Survey data is out Congratulations to New York City on another year of strong growth for bike commuting - topping 70,000 people who primarily use a bicycle to get to work in 2024 data.bikeleague.org/data/cities-... (Chicago and Boston also have new all-time highs)

By Owl's Head Park, the first of almost 50 new Citi Bike docks for Bay Ridge is getting its install today

Seen on the street near Owl’s Head Park. It’s happening

Because Community Board votes are only advisory, it would also help to contact the two local council members and let them know you like bike lanes. Councilmember Avíles Phone: 718-439-9012 Email: [email protected] Councilmember Hanif Phone: 718-499-1090 Email: [email protected]
