My wife just texted me that a bike messager just got doored in midtown via a taxi. She reported the cyclist was shaken but appeared okay, as the bike. A photo was taken of the licence plate.

It is one thing to discuss issues of human interaction in the abstract, quite another to find oneself on the concrete.

Is it illegal for skateboarders to ride in a bike lane? 

Central Park car free

Submitted by LWintner on Fri, 04/20/2018 - 1:04pm

I just received the following announcement from Helen Rosenthal, City Council member:

...I am beyond thrilled to announce that in advance of Earth Day this year, Central Park will become permanently car-free. Starting June 27th, the day after public schools close for the summer recess, the park’s loop drive will be entirely and permanently closed to cars. This is a victory for every New Yorker and our environment.
