#FuckEricAdams so so much. And fuck Hochul for not removing him. #BikeNYC
hellgateny…

After two last-minute appeals from safe street advocates, a state appellate court panel ruled on Monday afternoon that Mayor Eric Adams could rip out a three-block stretch of protected bike lane on Bedford Avenue from Willoughby Avenue to Flushing Avenue. Adams's Department of Transportation, which installed the bike lane barely nine months ago, began the demolition late Wednesday night. "It's really sad to see [the removal of] a safety project that has been fought for by a whole host of com…
Crash data from the DOT showed that the entire protected lane on Bedford, which separated bicyclists from traffic with a barrier of parked cars and stone blocks, reduced overall injuries by 47 percent. But Mayor Adams's decision to kill the lane was ultimately about politics, not safety. This past spring, members of the local Orthodox Jewish community, many of whom opposed the bike lane's installation in the first place, became incensed after several close calls between e-bike riders and chi…
One Orthodox man, who declined to give his name, told Hell Gate that he supported Adams's decision to remove the bike lane, which he thought was "poorly planned," but believed that Adams intervened mostly because of the general election in November. "I don't think he would have stepped in if there wasn't an election," he said, adding that he liked Adams before the mayor decided to remove the bike lane. "He has a very hard job because it's New York City, but he's doing a decent job." The m…
The actual removal of the bike lane was extremely loud and agonizingly slow. A massive truck obliterated less than a third of the bright green line on Bedford Avenue between Willoughby and Myrtle Avenues in about an hour of work, as a worker watched to make sure no debris got caught in the machine. Two bicyclists whisked by after 11 p.m. realizing—mid-ride—that the bike lane was being shorn off. One of them turned to their friend, perplexed: "Wait, are they getting rid of this?"

I had an air filter attached to the rear of my #Kombi, and then I realized that I couldn't shift. One of the cords that I had used to secure the hepa filter was on the derailleur. It was an easy thing to fix, but it reminded me just how much I hate derailleurs (and any kind of external gears in general).

The rear of a blue Kombi mid-tail cargo bike. Along the rear right side boards at the bottom, a white air filter unit (Coway 200M) is bungeed to the side of the bike. The bottom half of a kid is also visible, sitting on the rear rack, her leg over the air filter, a hand on the ring to hold on.
Another shot of the rear of the Kombi. This time you can see more of the blue frame, and both sides of the back. The white air filter is still on the right side of the bike, and on the left side a black Orlieb bag is attached. A child's legs are slung over both things.

2) Landward
For waterfront greenway interested folks #bikeNYC #NYC , the seaward seems like an option w space for a bike road between the highway and East/Harlem Rivers. Plus there is a bigger area of reduced flood risk w seaward.

Somehow we made this part of the Queensboro Bridge worse. This is a 3-4ft wide two-way bike lane. There's so much wrong with this, from the metal manhole cover taking up almost the entire width of the bike lane, to the MUTCD-violating usage of sharrows, to those shitty rumble strip/speed bump things THAT ARE LOOSE.

The left side no has a "sidewalk closed use pedestrian walkway" sign and some green walls, then the ped walkway, then the bike area, and then columns and then the roadway (with cars moving in it).

23km bike ride today, to one town over, stopped for coffee, got my brows done, and dropped the bike at a shop for some long-overdue maintenance. Need to replace the chain, worn cassette, stretched brake cables, and clean a winter's worth of road grime out of every crevice.
That'll take a week, so bussed home. Got another coffee across the street while waiting 3 minutes for a transfer.
Good day.

In practice we'll be sharing this with other 'try a bike' projects locally.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

I took the old 1970's Raleigh out this morning and it was creaky and had problems shifting, but it was also sort of a fun ride!
I only did about 1.5 miles and when I got home I realized the tires were low... like a lot more low than I think they should have been since I filled them three days ago.
Anyway, I may try to make the ride a bit smoother and see if I can get the shifting working better.
