Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 13hUsed to bike through this area around Union Square like a decade ago and it was pretty sketchy. Really impressed with the continuous incremental improves NYC has made to its streets. 000
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 02/10/2026in nyc and went to a rangers game on a whim. can’t believe we got to see shesterkin’s goalie goal. MSG went so wild. first one for the rangers in their 101 year history! 010
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 26/08/2026Wouldn’t mind if the city tried installing some secure bike parking like this one I saw in Brussels. Could piggyback on paid parking districts to get an assigned spot. 230
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026The Paris streets are pretty chaotic and complex, which can be a bit stressful to ride through, but I think it causes cars to go fairly slow in the city as a result. 110
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Evening rush hour bike traffic jam (!!!) on Boulevard Saint-Denis. 121
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026We rode from one side of the Périphérique to the other, mostly following the river. Some points have awful conditions next to highways but then you also have the truly glorious portions. 110
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Sometimes a bike way dumps you into a giant square or roundabout. Apparently the way through is to just YOLO and somehow it works just fine. 130
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026I really like the Paris had multiple bike hire providers. It lets you find a bike appropriate for the trip or find one that just fits you. The BikeTown bikes are too big (and way too heavy) for Victoria, but these Lime ones are perfect. 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Success for a bike network is seeing people in their regular clothing riding helmet free. 131
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026This street is now down to one lane for cars and two wide lanes for cyclists. This route gets extremely busy during rush hour. 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Saw lots of families/friends/couples sharing one bike to get around the city. Teens got the most creative with their setup, riding on handle bars, one person standing and steering while the other person its and pedals, just wild stuff. 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Adding cement islands into this intersection does a great job at slowing down drivers and also providing some direction. 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026I loved the diversity of bikes all around the city. As a tandem lover, this tandem trike was really neat to see. 130
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Paris also went ahead and planted trees in the curb zone to start greening big parts of the city. Portland currently has a small pilot to test this idea. However the trees are planted in a dense urban area, which I think are basically precluded by PBOT’s draft rules anyway. 140
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026Closing streets to through traffic is cheap and effective. Now that’s a greenway! 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026A lot of Paris bike infrastructure is pretty basic but it’s enough because they have an entire network that lets you travel around the whole city. Every major road in the city, at least that I encountered, has bike infrastructure. It’s the anti-greenway approach. 273
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 23/06/2026I saw people of all ages riding everywhere in the bike network, from the dedicated cycle tracks to bicycle gutters on the sides of big boulevards. 120
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 21/06/2026Surprised to run into a box truck running a generator blocking the east side esplanade this morning. 030
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 21/06/2026Portland urbanists routing traffic away from vacant and industrial lots and into the densest multi-family housing the city. 200
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 18/06/2026Paris shows the recipe for mass bike adoption: 1) Create a thriving, dense city with incredible transit. 2) Add decent enough bike lanes everywhere. 020
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 08/06/2026Really appreciate the conference having a 100% vegan menu! #bbuzz26 150
Jeremiah @gamayun.io · 07/06/2026Eating vegan curry on electric high-speed rail is so satisfying. 0110
