"More than a fifth of respondents (22 percent) said they rode a bike or a Citi Bike to get to Court.

Only 7 percent drove alone to Court Street, while another 7 percent used for-hire vehicle services like Uber and Lyft, and 4 percent carpooled. That totals 18 percent... in cars"
Even before the protected bike lane was installed on Court Street, more people got there by bike than by car.

Renting e bikes all around Paris. It’s awesome. Why don’t these phone holders come standard on Citi bikes? Seems like a no brainer #bikenyc

When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So what can this tale teach us about so-called "bikelash"?🧵

This new rail line, the most ambitious in 90 years, could change the face of New York City.
We hopped on a freight train to film the route, and show its potential. Take a look! 🚂

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

A fascinating map from @donnermaps.bsky.social overlaying Tuesday's Dem primary results with a map of the NYC subway system.

Inspired by an astute observation from @kleinman.bsky.social, who noted that Mamdani did better in areas served by the subway while Cuomo did better in car-centric areas.

In the past two weeks, we seemed to watch Brad Lander evolve in front of our very eyes: From a measured civil servant who releases long, detailed reports, to a ball-busting, rollercoaster-riding mayoral candidate who practices civil disobedience and curses out Cuomo.

Court Street has been a Vision Zero priority for the past five years -- and I've been advocating for a protected bike lane here since 2022.

Thrilled to see that DOT is proposing its installation for this summer! This is great news for safer streets! 🚲

we need to elect this man as our mayor
We’re just two months away from Election Day, yet 50% of New Yorkers still have no idea who I am or what this movement is all about.

The only way we can win is by bringing our message to as many doors as possible — and we need your help to do so.
