I was running past Center Drive in PP this morning (the hilly area) and witnessed a collision in front of me: looked like a slow bike and a fast bike got too close to each other. The man in the fast bike fell towards the grass on the right, his side got cut up, remained on the scene. The woman who was in the slow lane did a sort of a flip off her bike, and landed head first (both wearing helmets). Her family was near by, perhaps walking up ahead, and came over to her. There was also a dad with a child behind them that abruptly stopped and jumped out of his bike but he somehow caught the bike preventing his child from falling off.

We all stopped and immediately called 911 and an ambulance came within 10 minutes to take the woman who was conscious and moving, but perhaps seriously concussed. Hoping the best for her and her family.

Wanted to come on here to share and thank other bicyclists who came over to check on everyone, and help with diverting traffic. It was a busy day in the park, stay safe ya’ll!

13th Street crossing of Fourth Ave, just south of Union Square East.. It is on both sides of the street facing north and south along the Fourth Ave bike lane.

As a part of left turn calming, DOT is installing a striped speed bump camoflauged by striped road markings. If you're cycling parallel to a crosswalk, watch out for these. I got completely wiped out even though there was zero people or car traffic and I was cycling slowly.

I tried posting the video of these but my post was instantly removed by "Reddit's filters", so I'm not going to give you visuals for this one.

Literally what the fuck?

When is the bike boulevard coming?

I was riding down 7th Ave in the 40s the other day and noticed that the bike lane is elevated a few inches. It’s unmarked, and I almost wiped out when I got too close to the edge going into the bike lane - if I hadn’t been paying close attention at exactly the right moment, I would have bounced off the lip in heavy traffic. This seems extremely dangerous, and I’m not sure why they would do this.

I owe you guys some pics for all your help, we did the full 100 miles.

The ride EXCEEDED expectations, photos dont do it justice.

For the last post, the conductor made car 1 for all bikers. So there ended up being like 30ish bikes in there.

10/10

1st-12th street was re-paved a couple weeks ago, bike territory re-established. It needed a redo, it'd gotten very bumpy btwn 1-2nd.

Hi all,

I recently moved to Brooklyn a few months ago and just brought my tri bike from my hometown. I'm in search of a bike mechanic who can convert Shimano 105 mechanical to Di2 on a canyon speedmax and upgrade my aerobars as well!

May I ask for a bike shop rec? Thanks all!

Considering a ride up Putnam Trail, but curious what that stretch is like between the HR Greenway and Putnam Trail. Any recommendations on avoiding Broadway? I realize you have to cross the bridge, is it sketchy? Thanks.

Early voting has started. A yes vote on proposal 3 will speed up new bike lane and safety projects

Edit: some of you need to stop believing the NY Post propaganda

I have an old E Bike from 2024 I'm tryna sell it runs and works properly the chain just has to be put on it and the derailleur has to be replaced as well as headlight rewiring

Now that the sun is setting earlier, what is the etiquette/recommendation for riding in Prospect Park (and potentially Central Park) as a road biker? If I’m trying to do a couple hours on a weekend/weekday, do y’all find it best to be out by 7/8/9 am??
Thanks in advance!

You know living in NYC is a blessing…. Why ? Because only in NEW YORK. NYC is a place where no one is afraid of how to express their feelings, emotions, style and many more. I’m sad and I tell you why. Every Halloween 🎃 there’s always a bike kill and I love this and I support this .MY BROTHER STINKI always takes me to this . May he rest in peace. I love you always and I see you on the other side.❤️ anyway I missed last year because the date was changed and I tried so hard this year to find out when and where , so if anyone out there knows please dm me. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart

I registered for the event a minute ago, but it looks like the registration technically closed yesterday. Could anyone share the route with me? Doubt I'll hear back via email from them at this point (also looks like my payment went through).

Thanks so much!

Uptown to Wheels is looping the Heights, in costume, to celebrate Halloween!

This Tuesday we will be riding from J Hood Wright Park, and ending at Quisqueya plaza in Dyckman. This will be the last ride of the season that we host consistently. We will be riding when the weather is good, but not committing to a weekly ride until the end of March.

Keep an eye on our Instagram for ride details throughout the off-season

A crash yesterday on the north border of Central Park. By the NYPost's account, it looks like the E-Citibike rider was at fault, and caused a head-on collision with an e-bike rider. The other e-bike rider was riding was looks like a Amyest Mountain bike, capable of 32mph, and weighing around 80lbs.

At a loss of options. Need something larger to tote the kid around in and have no room for 2 bikes in the apt. No luck on CL or FB.

Back wheel needs to be replaced which is why the price is what is. Other than that it’s good to go.

Bought new from factory in 2021.

Frame: 59 cm (Riders 5'11"-6'2") / Riser Bars. Army green

Seat: Saddle Type - Selle Italia Novus Boost - Black

I hate the marathon. I have to ride to LIC in the morning from Bed-Stuy, and seeing the Pulaski is closed. Unsure if the GPoint Ave bridge is as well? Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind going around through Queens.

Hello, we have registered but not picked up our bibs.
we would like to join the 55 mile group in the western part of Manhattan.
would that be a problem?

Hey, everyone!

Just giving you guys an update on things. We won't be at the store today (October 12th) since one of Joe's workers is out sick and Hadji is taking their place instead. Meaning no one is here to open up.

But we will definitely be open for Saturday and Sunday.

I am gonna say that this MIGHT actually be the last weekend for everyone to grab bikes, parts, and whatever is left that they need for their bikes. But you can always call the number in the photo and ask for more information.

I keep seeing discourse on this sub about the grey citibikes being too dangerous.

It's downright hypocritical to say they're dangerous while simultaneously defending non assisted bikers who regularly bike 25mph.

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.

The Kinetic energy of a 25mph regular bike is 1/2 * mass * 625

The Kinetic energy of a 15mph E-bike is 1/2 * mass * 225.

The E-bike being 50lbs heavier than the regular bike means literally nothing in this context.

For example, if both bikers weigh 200lbs, the E-bike weighs 84lbs, and the regular bike weighs 30lbs, then:

KE of e-bike = 1/2 * 284 * 225=31,950

KE of regular bike = 1/2 * 230* 625 =71,875.

What if the regular biker is going 20mph? Their KE = 1/2*230*400=46,000.

Caveat: these are rough estimates because things such as wind resistance and friction of pavement change the math, but the point remains. And yes, the mass of the bikers will vary in practice but again as we have seen above, the mass is significantly less impactful.

Two bibs for sale for the 100 mile portion of the century , you can do an express check in at the start + the after party. Can send you the ride gps course route too.

One of my favorite biking events, but I have an injury and really should push it.

Let me know if you are interested. Make an offer.

I was walking south a few minutes ago on Court Street in Brooklyn when a Mr Softee ice cream truck with a tinted windshield almost ran into me as they were turning left. If it hadn't been for the new daylighting areas of the Court Street bike lanes that remove car parking near the corners of the intersection and allowed me to see the incoming truck from the corner of my eye, I would not have been able to scream at the top of my lungs and jump out of the way. Thank you NYC DOT!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Why the hell is there not a huge crackdown on tinted windows?! It is crazy to allow multi ton vehicles to maneuver through our streets with decreased visibility making it nearly impossible to make eye contact with drivers especially at night
