This just appeared in "the Spoke", the Bike New York newsletter : "Turning Tips" "A right hook is when a straight-through cyclist and a right-turning motorist...
It is as they say it is; this sounds like a wide 2-way street with no bike lane. The only safe way to ride like in a stuation like that is to be well...
New York really is special in that regard, speaking as one who doesn't live there, but who visits enough to comment. In Manhattan the blocks along the avenues...
Yes. That was about the time we Britons worshipped trees and wore the heads of our enemies in battle after we had burned some of them in massive wicker men to...
NYC hints: If you walk along the avenues WITH the direction of traffic at 4.1 MPH, you will pretty much make all the green lights. You might have to hustle...
Well well. What can we say about Mary? She may be as English as Spotted Dick, but my sense is that she would not have been there "upon St. Crispen's Day." No...
Uhhh! I think I'm just going to go out now and stare down a tractor trailer driver. I think that will be intellectually simpler... bk ... From: "the_exegete"...
somewhere in an archive, three computers ago, and I wish I could find it, is a helmet cam clip of a guy ahead of me in the bike lane who got cut off by -- not...
Regarding Andy's and Bruce's comments (see below): I was riding to the right side of a straight-through lane (with a dedicated right turn lane on my right)...
So what? That's one thing wrong with the three-foot law; it does not distinguish between situations. The tanker driver and the cyclist were both traveling...
... the same lane? Store owners in areas getting new bike lanes proposed something like that [to avoid losing more loading zone space] but it got shot down...
I like bus / bike lanes. They allow cyclists to be vehicles, yet give advantages over most other traffic in congestion. They are, in my opinion, the best of...
Hi everyone -- For everyone who requested pictures of NJ road signs saying "Ride Single File" I have posted them in chainguard in a new photo album "NJ Signs."...
When i first stumbled upon this group, I learned that even though I had never actually heard of VC, despite having managed to ride almost 200K miles in the...
... Those signs seem to illustrate the problem we've discussed with "Share the Road" signs. Obviously, the "Ride single file" can only be directed at cyclists....
... Given the image on the sign, this could mean bikes and cars should be single file with each other, rather than bikes single file at the edge. But this is...
I'm going to be charitable and say that the SHARE signs are directed primarily at the cars. 505, US 9W (which, although it starts in NJ, is part of NY Bicycle...
I haven't seen the single file sign, but NJ law allows double file riding when traffic is light. At least in my area of NJ, club rides might take liberties...
This stretch starts at the NJ landfall of the GW bridge; the only link by bike between NJ and Manhattan. EVERY type of group rides this road; on a good day...
I was listening to Arthur Goldwag on WNYC just now and I heard a snippet that Tea Party folks are protesting bicycle lanes as an assault on personal liberty....
I doubt it. My guess is most TP'ers want bicycles back on the sidewalk. I've seen some TP'ers approve of bike lanes to get them out of the way of cars... as...
" A little googling seems to be that their beef seems to be with the UN and green projects in general." Well, when the leading 'bike advocate' in the USA is a...
Any thoughts? I played VC on a LinkedIn Bicycle to Work group and opined that in most places we don't actually need any facilities beyond secure bike racks on...
