Firstly I’m fine other than a bruised elbow. But I’ve never had anything like this happen to me in 13 years of living in nyc. Around 10pm tonight I was on a citi e-bike coming up the bike lane ramp from Brooklyn going toward Manhattan. At the part where the red covering ends and you swing a left onto the actual bridge part, two masked guys walked up to me blocking my path and kicked me off my bike. Fell to the ground and they were hitting me and yelling “take everything” at each other. I got out of their hands and took my crossbody bag off and threw it at them and sprinted away in the bike lane toward manhattan. I had my keys and ID and CC in there. They didn’t take my phone. Called the cops as I was running toward Manhattan and met with them at that side. In the station there were two others who had been mugged by the same guys on the pedestrian side within the same 20ish minutes. The other two claimed they saw the perps holding knives (I didn’t see those).

Never expected something like this to happen on such a high traffic spot at 10pm on a Saturday night. It was totally surreal and out of body for me as it was happening. I’m okay. But it was very scary. Be careful out there.

Locked it up in the bike rack on 2nd ave and 6 st after dropping my kid off at school yesterday. Came out to do school pickup up and this is what she looked like.

Garbage trucks drive in the bike lane here so maybe that's what did it? No businesses have cameras looking at the spot. There's an NYU building across 2nd that might have a view on it, but they wouldn't let me see their cameras. I made a police report for insurance and they said they'd look at their footage, but I ain't holding my breath...

I emailed a bunch of non-profit bike places around me to see if they want any of the parts. Gonna get a tern short haul once I get the insurance money. I need acoustic as I have to keep it on the street...

Anyway, just mainly wanted to post this up and mourn this beauty acoustic cargo bike. Loved this thing. My kid loved it too. RIP bike. I'm sad.

Hey, everyone!

This Saturday and Sunday, Frank's Bike Shop in the Lower East Side will be open to the public from 11am to 6pm to sell off any and all remaining bicycles, equipment, and accessories & etc! (While supplies last)

EVERYTHING MUST GO!

If you need any parts for your bikes or just want to purchase a bike for cheap, then this is the time to do so! If you have any questions, just message me or call the number in the flyer below.

Tomorrow is the last day it will be open, so come and grab a piece of history of the LES and the memory of a man who helped us all.

I posted some pictures earlier about a car that drove onto the bike lane barrier on northern blvd between douglaston and Bayside in Queens. I got home and was able to recover some of our dashcam footage to get the full picture of how the car got there. I tried to edit the post and add the video but I was unable to attach a video, so this can be the follow-up post.

To their credit, the sun was really bright and it was at a terrible angle. On the other hand, they should have seen the very visible bike lane and barrier before turning, where there was no sun blocking the view.

And yes it was an elderly person driving.

I just heard a loud crunch, turned to my right, and saw this happen live. Never thought I'd see this happen right in front of me! Caught on northern blvd bike line between Bayside and douglaston in Queens.

Just passed a scene about 20 minutes ago where an elderly person was hit by a bike it seems (the crosswalk between east meadow and the reservoir). Does anyone have any updates if they’re okay? FDNY was arriving as I left.

Long shot. But if anyone finds her outside / listed for sale please let me know!

Rode there earlier and nothing, but as of 30 mins ago there’s orange cones on the white line between the rightmost and middle lanes for at least half the loop (the distance I covered)

Where in NYC can I sell or trade in my bike for a scooter or foldable bike? My new place has absolutely zero room for it

Beyond disliking them heavily, I feel these are just gimmicky.
