I created and run the 41,000 strong MicromobilityNYC community. I organized many of the marches for congestion pricing in NYC and started the daylighting movement. Our community is doing culture shift and grassroots movement building.

Zohran leads a RIDICULOUS pace for the Bus vs Pedestrian race on 34th St. God I love this town.
There are 4 transverses across Central Park and none of them are safe to bike. 1/4 of the sides have bike lanes. The paths inside the park are for pedestrians only.

Let's check in on the state of 31st St, while we wait for Zohran to fight the MAGAs holding it up

The one silver lining of the 31st street mess is that it shows locals how much anti-street improvement thinking hurts us all.

Honestly kind of nice
Now that the streets are in better shape and the melt has revealed #freshKermit I’m certainly preferring the snow-protected #bikenyc lanes over the parking protected!
For one: it keeps the idiots & cranks from parking in them! 😀

Zohran has announced a fix for the Ashland Place bike lane left by Adam's corruption. After these obvious fixes it's time to go much bigger.

Bike lanes are not just for bikers, they are an essential means of freedom and mobility and their presence on only a tiny fraction of streets is a huge slap in the face to residents.

It's fascinating to me that literally every car driver insists they spent far less than the known average for car ownership, even in NYC, probably the most expensive market. It obviously can't be correct, yet it happens every time the discussion comes up.

From the MicromobilityNYC community on Reddit: Going 18 days without digging out your car, you've spent on average $600 to not even use it once. Are people just bad with money?

Regular reminder that Congestion Pricing has been wildly successful on all metrics, and yet nobody is talking about expanding it

There are no immutable rules keeping streets like this in Europe. Our urban environment is a reflection of what we commit to build. We don't have to let cars sterilize our landscape. It's a choice.

Kids used to play and walk around in the street. The ability to be outside in their city was largely *taken* from them

This is not a parking lot... it's a kid's playground. Why would anyone think this is OK?

In America, chauffeured Council Members and rancid shitheads like Joann Ariola, have to be held back by the cops so they don't run over kids.

This is wild. Cops having to hold back the chauffeured car of a Council Member so she doesn't run over kids in a protest. I just... wtf is going on in this country.
Wow. While neighbors marched for safety, CM Joann Ariola chose to drive on Freedom Dr through the rally. Her message to families in the area and kids who attend school 2 blocks away? Their safety matters less than a 0.3 mile shortcut for a few. 🎥: Safer Streets Richmond Hilll

Drivers are using the snow as an excuse to erase bike and pedestrian infrastructure and the people whose job it is to stop that don't give a shit.
