this worked for other people so lemme try: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov this tree fell in a storm six months ago on the corner of Bedford and Park in crown heights and the sidewalk had been disrupted ever since for anyone in a wheelchair. A new tree even appears to be growing!

Great day for riding River Road, but after almost two months without hard rides, I didn't have the legs for the hill. #bikenyc

An empty road tree-lined road with one car far off in the distance. One tower of the George Washington Bridge looms over the scene

A vintage blue bicycle is leaned up against a row of boulders, next to a sign that reads "NO parking along roadway", behind that, the tops of trees growing on the cliffside

A street corner in Harlem. A man is crossing w 116 st in the crosswalk, and a bicyclist is riding towards him. The building on the corner hosts the First Corinthian Baptist Church and also a corner storefront that appears to be called "be human"

As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”

This should be deeply embarrassing for the NYC City council. Paying interns would be one of the easiest and cheapest "lead by example" things that Council could do on equal access and living wages. Who can afford to do an unpaid internship for the summer? (not poor folk!)

As the Knicks rallied with a game-winning 2-pointer, NYers held their number 1! At the final whistle and for the next 7 minutes, NYC saw a water‑use spike equal to 368,697 toilet flushes! As the #Knicks surged, we fought the urge… because we knew the team was on the verge… OF HISTORY! 🚽🏀🔥

if you have to wear a motorcycle helmet to ride your e-whatever because you are scared of the top speed then you probably do not belong in the bike lane

It really seems like if we can just fix bad overtaking attempts, analog bikes could continue to coexist with e-whatevers. Limiting everyone to "no faster than Pogacar" on any 4%+ grade would get us most of the way there.

So an e-moto rider mocked my disability this morning after I said "WTF" to her dangerous pass. We absolutely need to replace car trips with ebike trips, but that's not what's happening here in NYC. Here's what it was like out there today in #bikenyc

I know it's a dick move on my part but it's so great when a restaurant lets me bring the #bikenyc in. Check out Golden Taquito 1 in the Bronx for an amazing torta! Thanks to @hellgatenyc.com for the recommendation

My Monday morning Trader Joe's run coincided with the senior center group's visit. The little old lady ahead of me in line held spots for six (6) of her friends. Is our tolerance of little old line-cutters, in fact, a form of age discrimination? In this essay for the Atlantic

This 9000lb truck has collected 29 speeding/red light tickets in NYC in 2025. Sure glad my tax dollars subsidized this purchase.

A monstrous electric pickup truck parked at the curb. It is a white hummer ev and its owner must be history's greatest monster. This stupid piece of shit weighs 9000 lbs and exceeds the weight limit for the Brooklyn bridge by 1.36 Miatas

Screenshot from howsmydriving.nyc showing the hummer ev's recent driving violations. It has picked up 55 total violations, 10 since December 2025, and 29 red light or speed camera violations in 2025.

All the hate people have for these trucks is similar to how I feel about folks driving SUVs as though they’re reasonable daily driver vehicles. They’re not. You are also a menace on the roads. You are collectively the reason we can’t have smaller, safer, cheaper, more fuel efficient cars as the norm

Dory Selinger lost his leg in the early '90s after a driver hit him with a car. He went on to earn a gold medal in the 2020 Paralympics and was a three-time world champion. A driver killed him on 4/16 while he was riding a bike.

Bike rooms are great until you get all dressed and layered up for a cold ride only to find a flat. So you bring the bike up to the apartment to put in a new tube. Why bother taking off the layers, it'll take 5 minutes tops! 1 stubborn new tire, 2 pinched tubes, and 2 hrs later... #bikenyc

Caught the bridge up twice in two days—tying my record. Good to see only two antisocial future SUV drivers trying to cut the line, out of a total of eight #bikenyc

25-miler #bikenyc on the commuter around Queens today. I believe dragging the extra 15 lbs in bags and lock will make me faster. Also TIL the plural of "shrimp nibbler" is "shrimp nibbler"

A black bicycle with canvas bags attached to handlebars and saddle is leaned up against a boulder on the Queens bank of the East River. The Manhattan skyline is in the background.

A photo from the intersection of 57th Ave and Queens Blvd. The White Castle on the corner has a sign that reads "SHRIMP NIBBLER ARE BACK" Behind the white castle is another fast food eatery called Halal Eats, which may be the better choice.

The lake is still iced over but it was a great morning for my first prospect Park laps of 2026. Get out there, #bikenyc

A view of the lake in prospect Park. It's still iced over but the sky is blue and the sun is bright. There are people walking and exercising

A view of the entrance to prospect Park from Grand army plaza. A lone cyclist in long sleeves is riding towards the viewer. There aren't as many people out as one would expect.
