@JumboElliott76 @brithume Yeah, a period of peace and tranquility for two weeks before Dipshit decides to "liberate" Cuba, Greenland, or some other irrational pursuit.
English
@brithume That's completely naive.
The consequences due to this war will cripple economies.
Oil. Gas. Fertilizer. Potash. Chemicals. Etc. We will be lucky if larger war doesn't spark off as a result.

"If the United States can hold firm for the next few weeks, it can fully degrade Iran’s war-making apparatus. This would usher in a multiyear interval of calm of the kind that neither sanctions nor diplomacy has been able to produce in..four decades."

@SpeakerMenin Most business closures were in.....the Congestion Zone!
English
New York City lost 5,000 businesses last year and created only 27,000 jobs— compared to roughly 190,000 jobs annually in the prior four years. That's not acceptable.
A strong economy is how we fund affordable housing, child care, and everything New Yorkers need.
English
Guess what? I'm fine with bicyclists not getting criminal summons for most bad behaviors--just license and register them so when they are ticketed there's an actual chance NYC will see the money. @NYCMayor @SpeakerMenin

Did it again on @NY1 with @patkiernan @92ndStreetY with Basketball Instructor and former Pro Steve Carney #BackwardsShot #Basketball #MarchMadness

@ImpunityCity @NYCMayor Crossing 5th Ave this am I had an e-bike beeping at me while I had the walk sign and he ran the red. I threw my arms up and laughed. A guy a few feet away looked at me and said "see, now they can just do whatever the fuck they want!". I laughed again and responded "we're doomed."

In honor of @NYCMayor ending the criminal summons crackdown on ebike drivers, Fly Wing has announced their new model for the streets of New York.
Anarch-ebikes.
NYC Council Common Sense Caucus@NYCCCommonSense
Statement from the Caucus on the Mayor’s decision to stop issuing summonses to reckless e-bike riders:
English
@Sen_Gounardes @bfurnas Hell with the cameras. Pull them over, give them tickets, fines, points, check for warrants, weapons, and drugs. If they drive recklessly take the car away. It's called enforcement!
English
If you've spent any time on a New York street, you know how terrifying it is when someone drives recklessly.
My Stop Super Speeders Act would hold the most dangerous drivers accountable by requiring them to install speed-limiting tech in their cars, keeping our streets safe.
English
English
@NYCMayor e-bike riders should be “treated like everyone else on the road”
Where's licenses-registration & insurance?
City Hall hands enforcement over to billion$ app companies while everyday NYers face rising injuries-chaos-zero accountability?
This isn’t safety—it’s surrender.
English
@ForestHillsBuzz @DickYoungsGhost Stuck in the middle with you.

The U.S. has a know-it-all in Washington. NYC has a know-nothing in City Hall. 😠

Foxes Meet Hen House! The @nyc_evsa response to @lyft @transalt charged w devising City Hall policy on e-bikes 4 themselves.

@bfurnas Lyft and Lyft-sponsored astroturf will now work with Lyft to police Lyft. Yeah, that's gonna really work!
English
Proud to be working with Citi Bike and the Mamdani administration to encourage safer riding and respect for pedestrians and other New Yorkers on bikes. We’re all in this together!
Transportation Alternatives@TransAlt
"The Mamdani administration will also partner with Lyft to take steps to discourage unsafe riding practices, like two people sharing one Citi Bike, and to spread the word about a forthcoming safety education campaign in collaboration with Transportation Alternatives."
English
@ImpunityCity @EricsRambles Cars turn from bus lanes on most every other block.
English
@EricsRambles @AFineBlogger I can ride my bike at 16 with a damaged crankset. And this will definitely slow down buses on routes that have to share with cars like on avenues and boulevards that are only one lane both directions.
English
Rather than engage with whether a 15mph speed limit even makes sense (especially 24/7), these insufferable anti-car activists are trying to shape the argument into pro vs. anti "speeding." So disingenuous. These people never argue in good faith.

The New York Post is pro-speeding. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/18/wed…

Wait… you mean that’s a problem?
Andrew Fine@AFineBlogger
E-bikes have no licenses, no license plates, no registration, no insurance. The argument that they are now being treated the same as cars is bullshit. They are all ghost vehicles, at the end of the day 95% of their crashes are hit and runs, and only the victim pays the price.

Another Big Belly hits the street thanks to @East86th and our partner on this one at 200 East 84th, another great neighbor! Proud to be part of the Org that is making the East 80s cleaner + greener! Thx also @SpeakerMenin @vmmaloney @AlexBores @SeawrightForNY

@paris3219 @carornocar We are debating a person (?) from the UK. We know the viewpoint.
English
I still see far too many cars with no licenses, no license plates, no registration, no insurance.

English
@paris3219 @carornocar E-bike crashes are vastly underreported.
English
@allijnera And the rider should be protected as well. More accountability means safer riding.
English
@AFineBlogger Bike accidents are more likely to injure the rider than the victim...

@AFineBlogger @IsaiahLCarter Any and all wheeled devices carrying one or more person should be registered with a displayed plate, insurance and a license to operate. They can cause accidents just like any other vehicle
English
@AFineBlogger Sure.
Now let's prioritise based on risk presented.
