Cars are the problem. They're deadly weapons, and weapon-concealing devices, that virtually everyone has. We could automate most traffic enforcement and eliminate most of these lethal encounters, but we won't.

Outrage in Long Island City as a cyclist is killed on Honeywell Street — which used to have a protected bike lane, but no longer does because drivers destroyed all the flex-posts ... and DOT never restored them: https://t.co/AMSCRUx1Y3

It's nice that DOT is regulating moped companies such as Revel & Lime. But it's worth noting that as the city reins in micro mobility, anyone can drive a 5,000-pound SUV anywhere he wants and ruin his neighbors' lives with virtually no restrictions: https://t.co/VuA5okTuGK

Why do all these articles on the Meeker Ave bike lane bury the lede? A protected bike lane and pedestrian improvements on a high traffic, high injury corridor will certainly be more beneficial to the community than 680 parking spaces.

I was severely injured in a hit-and-run car crash by a licensed driver two years ago. The driver was never found.

A license is not a safety tool. This discussion is harmful and insulting to anyone that has been a victim of real traffic violence. We need real solutions now.

Hi @JBHuntDrivers. In case you somehow missed it, this is a bike lane. They’re all important but this one on Kent Ave. is especially busy. You’re forcing cyclists to veer into car traffic, putting their lives at risk. Many have been killed in our district. Please don’t do this.

To combat the folks in my nabe who want the 34th Ave #openstreet shut down rush hours, I taped this.

910 users in 44 minutes!
Which would be 1,238 for an hour!

The crash in #Astoria caps off a brutal month for #VisionZero, w/ the most pedestrians killed in ANY April since program began. #AskTheMayor: Something isn't working. How will you change the deadly status quo NOW before more innocent lives are lost?

Remember this next time someone calls for a bike helmet law or defends NYC’s bike bell law

(Perth Amboy NJ apparently has a bike license sticker law)
