The block was removed from the 2023 redesign by former Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, reportedly at the behest of a local real estate developer. The firm got the ear of Adams’ former chief adviser Ingrid Lewis-Martin, who had been indicted for allegedly being involved in a pay-to-play scheme to kill a similar bike lane project along Greenpoint’s McGuinness Boulevard.
When order lead times ballooned from two months to two years during COVID-19, it created a massive, long-term problem for the bike industry. Even today, nobody can tell you exactly how much excessive stock there still is.
Last week I posted here the aftermath of my bike after getting run over. An event which had me very irritated. No details left, a bike that had been bought a month prior, and I bike that had felt amazing to ride.
I’m looking to research my way in to getting an electric skateboard/long-board, but reputable resources are hard to find these days with websites generally being affiliate link spam.
Vi ricordate lo scooter elettrico con i pannelli solari nella carrozzeria, quello presentato con un prezzo da 4.995 dollari e le prime consegne annunciate per gennaio 2025?

Left my bike locked up at a rack on a road for pedestrian and commercial vehicles. Two hours later and I return to find that the bike has been flipped over the rack and both wheels are warped. Police have been unhelpful, saying for myself to request CCTV footage and that they won’t investigate as no one person had been injured.
Sometimes, I think my nearest town is doing pretty well at providing for active travel like cycling and walking, with a pretty good but incomplete greenway network. Other times, local government does stuff like this: keep pushing ahead with a large 236-space car park with a small 55-space bike shed apparently so they can say it’s “active travel” and have an active travel budget pay for it, but with an “avoidable safety risks” crossroads between the bike shed (numbered 2) and the access to the greenway towards town (numbered 8).
I have a scooter that is supposed to go upwards of 50mph, although the state speed limit for e-scooters is 20mph, and I need to find a better helmet. I am currently using a bike helmet.
