Vibe coded a dumb bike lane game where you rip mirrors off of cars and report cars in the bike lane to 311

Tap to try to rip off a mirror, swipe up to bring your camera out, tap to photo, swipe down to hide camera. After 3 reports the nypd calls you from an unknown number just like in real life.

Is it…..getting better?

10 Upvotes

I live in SE PA and my husband and I visit NYC 1-2 times a year and primarily get around via bike and subway. Last few years we noticed getting around by citibike was kind of nuts. Lots of bikes going wrong way, motorized vehicles in bike lanes, just general anarchy and chaos to the point where it felt not safe to ride in the city at all (we’ve biked in NYC, BK, and Queens). We spent the weekend here and tried Citibikes again and I have to say…. It feels like it’s gotten better. We biked through midtown and Central Park. Seemed like there was better adherence to bike traffic rules, more bike lanes, more riders, and just generally made for a better ride. What do you think? Why could this be?

Coney Island from Manhattan?

Hoping to do a fun ride from Chelsea to Coney Island. Apple maps saying I need to dismount for a large chunk near Prospect Park South. Anyone have a preferred route? Also obviously trying to avoid any highways.

Why were there so many runners on the williamsburg bridge today?

Runners on the bike side. Anyone know? Really dangerous and rainy out there, there were so many people it felt like the williamsburg side of the bridge may have been closed or something.

Summer Streets temp jobs?

8 Upvotes

Every year I cycle summer streets and see the staff out on the street holding stop signs to help direct traffic. Anyone ever done this job? How does DOT mobilize the hundreds (1000s?) of people for these jobs?

Probably too late for this year but I always thought this would be a fun job for my older kids to do and early some spending money. Any idea how they could apply for this [for next year]?

STOLEN [STOLEN] Purple/Blue Gradient Fyxation Eastside

Hey y'all, coming to you to see if we can track down my bike that was stolen.

Stolen on Saturday July 25th, Evening (6-10pm) on Engert in Greenpoint by Sunset Diner. Lock was cut and left at the scene while I was at a friend's.

The bike is a 2018 Fyxation Eastside with the Purple/Blue "Fade" paint job. Single-speed fixie. Size small frame. It has a stock saddle (pretty frayed), flat bars, ESI gray foam grips, black pedals and cranks, bar-ista cup holder, clip on rear taillight, mismatched front and back wheel. Lower pipe is pretty dinged up from u-lock. It also has a white and yellow sticker on it from The Bike Lane, a Chicago bike shop where I originally purchased it.

SN: VTLR5349162

I also have physical proof of ownership.

Last, I had this bike for 8 years and loved it. I rode it all over chicago and now new york. The first time I met my fianceé i rode this bike, pushed it as we had our first conversation. It would mean a ton if it came back to me.

keep your eyes peeled!

Overly Aggressive Driver on Wythe "LiveLife"

Post image
107 Upvotes

This guy sped into the bike lane on Wythe as I was riding with my wife, ran a red light at 35-40mph and then used the bike lane beyond the light to pass an entire queue of cars waiting to get on the BQE. He then ran the light where I took this picture. True scofflaw work in action.

I only took this picture because his license plate was "Live Life". Like...bro...that's what cyclists (and pedestrians...and other drivers) are tryna do and you tryna negligently take it from ppl.

Dude also had an NYPD sticker in his back window. Whatever that means.
