Come ride a bike with us in Jersey City!

"It's parked, which is proof it's never used." I don't think that's a path you want to go down. 🚘

You’d think this was Amsterdam. Or maybe Paris. Or at least a Tube strike… Nope…just a regular Tuesday morning in London. Ding ding 🛎️🚲

In 2025, there were more than four million trips per day on Bogotá’s BRT system, TransMilenio, with a fleet of 10,509 buses. Meanwhile, New York City’s bus system has a daily ridership of around 1.4 million. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/05/bog…

"An avid cyclist's reasonable case against bike lanes" You'll see op-eds with titles like this in papers around the country, written by people who have impressive skills and temperament to travel long distances alongside heavy and fast-moving traffic. Those sports cyclists are impressive people, but they're the last people who should be influencing street design. Inevitably these anti-bike lane op-eds ignore decades of research and case studies. It wouldn't make for an interesting article if the opening sentence was "The US Department of Transportation reports that converting traditional bike lanes to separated bike lanes with flex posts can reduce crashes up to 53%." Separating road users in space is part of the safe system approach that can enhance safety for everyone. People riding bikes need to be separated on busy streets. They need their own space. Not on every single street, but on some. It's easy to understand why bike lanes separated from car traffic are safer for people riding bikes, but that type of street design turns out to also be safer for people who *don't* ride bikes. After adding bike lanes, fatal crashes... - dropped 75% in Portland, OR - dropped 60% in Seattle, WA - dropped 49% in San Francisco, CA - dropped 40% in Denver, CO - dropped 38% in Chicago, IL So build more bike lanes -- for everyone's sake!

Anybody who lives in a modern city in 2026 who still thinks bikes are nothing but a recreational plaything is unserious and should be treated as such. Bikes - and safe places to ride them for daily activities - open kids’ worlds, build their independence, and keep them healthy.

I see the 2026 NYC Bike Map is out. The Manhattan-centric part of the map is much nicer when aligned this way. nyc.gov/html/dot/html/…

i think not having cars parked literally everywhere is like 75% of the reason why Tokyo (and probably japan in general) looks so nice

Here's one theory why politicians are so unconcerned about super speeders: They know a hell of a lot of them! nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/05/tue…

Anyone who sometimes uses a bicycle to get around understands this:

New Yorkers with tiny apartments will soon have room to own a bike on the street, thanks to a new program launched by the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) on Monday. amny.com/nyc-transit/do…

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani made history as the first city mayor to ride the full TD Five Boro Bike Tour, joining more than 32,000 cyclists for the 40-mile route across all five boroughs

The DOT says it will change city rules to allow cyclists to legally make right turns on red lights and also pass through stop lights at the top-of-the-T intersections. But we've been promised such changes before. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/04/wil…

Shoup is the GOAT. He changed how we think about parking and inspired a generation of scholarship on all the ways we subsidize and require driving, the complete absence of spatial discipline in American cities and the economic impact of land use decisions Rest in power..
