Does anyone else wish that 5th Avenue wasn’t such a death trap?

The east side of Manhattan is really really bad for biking. It’s honestly amazing they haven’t tried to do anything on 5th and Madison, or ideally Park.

At least 2nd Ave has a bike lane. 3rd Ave could be better, but not nearly as bad as 5th

Yes I’m wondering why they don’t add a bike lane on 5th.

I feel like midtown in particular is particularly hellish for biking. Lower Manhattan is much better

Howdy! Has anyone ever biked the fire island seashore? If so, was it as awesome as I'd expect it to be, and were you able to find bikes to rent that could handle it?

I understand there used to be fat tire bike rentals at Robert Moses, but the pandemic seems to have closed that down permanently.

I want to do this ride so much I'm thinking of buying a pair of lectric foldables for myself and my partner, then just immediately selling them at a loss - but I'd prefer something easier logistically!

Hi Folks! Starting at McK NYC soon and hoping to bike to work some days. I'll probably get a Brompton folding bike but wondering if anyone has experience with the NYC office? Is there accesible bike storage in the building? Are there showers of some sort in the office building where I can change out of biking clothes?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Hey! Looking for someone who might want to go on a bike ride this weekend, maybe starting Manhattan midtown-ish over to Red Hook-ish and back but definitely open to other suggestions! Not a pro biker by any means and usually just enjoy the ride if that matters :)

Hey y’all! So I heard that there’s a tradition of riding the NYC marathon route before the runners make it over to Manhattan? Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d love to ride if anyone else was thinking of the same.

PR’d the Central Park loop this evening. Hope everyone else is enjoying this beautiful weather!

Anyone up for a ride to Nyack and back tomorrow? Riding roughly avg 12mph, relatively early start 8/9am, maybe stop in Nyack for a quick bite before heading back down. We’ll ride up west side highway, cross GW bridge, up the palisades and 9W, and come back down the same way. Photos attached is of 9W— hopefully we’ll have peak foliage tomorrow!
