[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive. Have for 20 years plus in nyc

I dont like the bike lanes. I'm pro bike lane, but the two ways the city seems to do them either parked cars / bike lane / cars or bike lane/ parked cars / cars make taking a left or right  with the light very hard. I feel like I could hit a bike who is not aware. I'm super aware which means slowing down in a non-turn lane which is also dangerous.

I honestly wish we'd have fewer/better bike lanes. I'd give up an entire major street to do all bike lanes if I could (and get rid of other bike lanes). Make broadway or 3rd avenue all bikes half north bound/half south bound. I'd bike![/quote]

What about biking? Do any of you bike?

Seems like the consensus is the bike lanes! Bikes are an overall positive but I also wish there were better bike lanes. When I ride, some areas are terrifying to navigate, the lanes drop off and suddenly I’m in the middle of a pile of cars, and of course every uber, cab and delivery truck pulled over is right in the bike lane, and then you end up in the flow of traffic on a bike.

I could use some overall training on signaling etc.

Maybe a required short mini course for bicyclists, pedestrians and drivers who drive more than infrequently in NYC? [/quote]
