You'd think seeing 2 ambulances stuck in traffic would be a problem requiring solutions...

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.

The evolution of car free 14th Street.
100%. Why everything needs years of development time and endless rounds of community feedback is beyond me. Who cares, just go build the best thing the engineers and designers can come up with.
I post about them **all the time.** Probably more than anyone in NYC, including the DOT themselves, and I'm just one dude, a private citizen. Check the reddit sub, I use it a lot more than this. Bluesky is just a sideshow for advocacy
A note for politicians. Don't do your normal thing. The goal is not to make oil cheaper temporarily... it's to make alternatives to cars more practical always.
City announces plan to actually do that banger 14th St Busway update -- which will include new bike lanes (not pictured)
The public feedback process is broken. People don't advocate for the things, they just assume good things will be built.
Racist, Islamophobic, homophobic shithead Vicky Paladino is sueing the City Council for voting to censure her for her racism
A gallon of gas in the U.S. apparently costs roughly 4.5% of the barrel price. So if I understand this, the current $114 per barrel will result in roughly $5.13 per gallon? And that's if the price stabilizes instead of skyrocketing even more. Glad I live in NYC instead of somewhere car dependent...
All the people that have argued against clean energy and things like bike lanes and trains are such assholes.
If you want a vital city build housing and remove parking. It's honestly that simple.
It's literally raining oil right now in the Iran, but sure, let's keep arguing whether the world should move more towards electric bikes and away from the catastrophic oil and car based world of the last century.
Zohran told me he wants to be held accountable, so let's run the clip again. The time for Universal Daylighting is now, according to this Zohran guy
Oh yeah, good point. I messed up the quote.
Correction: Free parking in NYC is a give away to the rich and suburban*

NYC is drowning in parking. Millions of cars stacked on both sides of every single street, yet we we still have council members and the DOT actively trying to cram in even more. Unbelievable stuff.
Lots of riders like me have their own bike already but also use citibike. Some reasons are explained here: www.reddit.com/r/Micromobil...
Citibike balance situation this morning. The demand is going to be insane this year and we just need so many more docks
Our reddit community has hosted AMAs with Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Mark Levine and others. Today we're proud to give New Yorkers more access to those that want to lead -- Ask Anything of Chuck Park who is running for Congress right now:

DOT gets grilled on failure to build required bike and bus lanes under Adams. Promises Zohran is turning the ship.
It's already up to 50 cents
It's time for regular New Yorkers that don't think much about bike lanes and transit to realize what side they're on.
Most people prefer ebikes, but I really wish these were part of the citibike fleet. Exertion free, sweat free... They'd be very popular with people going to work.
Going to be a great time to go ahead and buy that ebike, folks
Lol what? We're not that focused on YouTube but me, my Reddit platform (www.reddit.com/r/Micromobil...) ,
@streetfilms.bsky.social,
@nyc.streetsblog.org,
and @thewaroncars.bsky.social are all based in NYC
All of these used to be exclusively for cars. They are now for micromobility, and that is better for everyone.
Somehow people manage to just tune car crashes out and factor them in as the cost of doing business
The Sunnyside Yards plan Zohran just dogwalked the president into supporting is actually pretty nice.
