"dry january" is discriminatory against your atheist friend with a january birthday. just don't be such a fucking lush over the holidays

The last speaker at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony lost his father to the attacks.

this worked for other people so lemme try: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov this tree fell in a storm six months ago on the corner of Bedford and Park in crown heights and the sidewalk had been disrupted ever since for anyone in a wheelchair. A new tree even appears to be growing!

Well, no one will ever top this in #carryshitolympics

Great day for riding River Road, but after almost two months without hard rides, I didn't have the legs for the hill. #bikenyc

As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”

This should be deeply embarrassing for the NYC City council. Paying interns would be one of the easiest and cheapest "lead by example" things that Council could do on equal access and living wages. Who can afford to do an unpaid internship for the summer? (not poor folk!)

KAT and New York City Mayor Mamdani with the moves #Knicks #Parade

As the Knicks rallied with a game-winning 2-pointer, NYers held their number 1! At the final whistle and for the next 7 minutes, NYC saw a water‑use spike equal to 368,697 toilet flushes! As the #Knicks surged, we fought the urge… because we knew the team was on the verge… OF HISTORY! 🚽🏀🔥

New bike day!

Happy Brooklyn Queens Day!

Great conversation about last week's tragedy. Also check out the color-matched cable housing on Emily's bike--love those 80s Panasonic paintjobs 🔥🔥

if you have to wear a motorcycle helmet to ride your e-whatever because you are scared of the top speed then you probably do not belong in the bike lane

It really seems like if we can just fix bad overtaking attempts, analog bikes could continue to coexist with e-whatevers. Limiting everyone to "no faster than Pogacar" on any 4%+ grade would get us most of the way there.

I know it's a dick move on my part but it's so great when a restaurant lets me bring the #bikenyc in. Check out Golden Taquito 1 in the Bronx for an amazing torta! Thanks to @hellgatenyc.com for the recommendation

In case you haven’t heard we are all boycotting REI until they respect the union. Please spread the word.

My Monday morning Trader Joe's run coincided with the senior center group's visit. The little old lady ahead of me in line held spots for six (6) of her friends. Is our tolerance of little old line-cutters, in fact, a form of age discrimination? In this essay for the Atlantic

This 9000lb truck has collected 29 speeding/red light tickets in NYC in 2025. Sure glad my tax dollars subsidized this purchase.

Mother’s Day breakfast

TAKE OFF YOUR BACKPACK IN A CROWDED SUBWAY CAR.

New pedals, clips & straps day!

All the hate people have for these trucks is similar to how I feel about folks driving SUVs as though they’re reasonable daily driver vehicles. They’re not. You are also a menace on the roads. You are collectively the reason we can’t have smaller, safer, cheaper, more fuel efficient cars as the norm

If I absolutely HAVE to be humiliated on the willyb bridge climb by every single New Yorker on a grey citibike, could they please learn to descend, or at least move aside so I can pass?

Had the day off but didn't ride-too cold in the morning and wasn't warm until school dismissal time. Hope to get over my school pick-up ptsd some day.

Bike rooms are great until you get all dressed and layered up for a cold ride only to find a flat. So you bring the bike up to the apartment to put in a new tube. Why bother taking off the layers, it'll take 5 minutes tops! 1 stubborn new tire, 2 pinched tubes, and 2 hrs later... #bikenyc

Sir, a second bird is at the feeder

Nailed it for me, except for the degrees and awards

Caught the bridge up twice in two days—tying my record. Good to see only two antisocial future SUV drivers trying to cut the line, out of a total of eight #bikenyc

25-miler #bikenyc on the commuter around Queens today. I believe dragging the extra 15 lbs in bags and lock will make me faster. Also TIL the plural of "shrimp nibbler" is "shrimp nibbler"

Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.

Fuck you, Google photos. I didn't need to be reminded this morning of having spent a decade in hell

Iran is going to win the Super Bowl next year

The people I feel sorriest for are The Troops, who America's baseball team let down, probably because they don't really respect them.

easy bucket

Have a spooky Friday the 13th, everyone!

Happy Calvin's Dad day to those who celebrate

Combining ocean spotting and howsmydriving.nyc How do these Ocean plates work? These violations must be from when the plate was on a different vehicle, right? @oceansofnyc.com

The lake is still iced over but it was a great morning for my first prospect Park laps of 2026. Get out there, #bikenyc

yesterday I joked I couldn't wait to see $5/gal gas because my bike is powered by the tears of SUV drivers. The joke's on me-today I saw one of the new electric Escalades blocking a whole goddamn crosswalk. The gas crisis will hurt normal folks while the worst people in the world laugh

I would love this. I put maybe 1000 miles a year on my Miata but have to use regular insurance since Hagerty doesn't recognize my bike (2500 miles last year) as my primary vehicle @governor.ny.gov

Q: So you're not pulling back in Minnesota? TRUMP: No no. Not at all.
