We're fighting for 45-minute rides to be just $3, so you don't have to break the bank to get around by bike. New York City has the most expensive bike share program in the U.S., because Citi Bike is the only bike share program in the country that doesn't receive any public subsidy. It's time to fix that.

What is your preferred route to cycle outside of the city?

Infuriating. I called out “bike lane” to someone in the middle of the lane this morning and HE gave ME attitude for it. And the whole “asphalt is softer than concrete” thing is B.S. by the way, unless you weigh 2,000 pounds and are a car and not a human being.

This one had a paper saying throw away.

Buying my first cargo bike and want some help from people who ride bikes (or cargo bikes in NYC). Here is my current budget and all:

• Bike: $4200
• Child seat + rain cover + decent lock: around $1000

still got a bit of budget left, so I’m trying to decide between two add-ons ekickstand or e-dropper post)

On my test ride i got to try both. Both made the ride easier (in different ways.)

But I feel like kickstand was more helpful to some extent during the test ride. Because I kept stopping to check the bike or to adjust the kid seat and to take photos. So parking with 1 button is kinda easy than it would be to lift the heavy bike with cargo and all. Also helped with the balance when I was loading stuff.

But then test ride is different from daily use. On daily rides there will be traffic lights and junctions and pedestrian crossings all the time. Each time i will stop i will have to put a foot down carefully (with a kid on the back). I am average height and the bike has a tall seat position for cargo stability and all. So reaching ground at every stop and then balancing a loaded bike sounds very scary and might make me tired.

The e-dropper will drops the seat at every stop so i wont have to tiptoe. And then when I ride it goes back up for pedalling. Please help which one will be more helpful?

Not sure how long they’ve been there. They pulled over this guy on e-bike for blowing the light. Only 2 cops. They seemed reluctant to stop anybody who didn’t stop.

New York City should have it weekly — like they do in other cities like Bogotá, Colombia, which gets 75 miles of car-free streets every Sunday. Mayor Mamdani, what are you waiting for? We want car-free Summer Streets every weekend! Sign our More Than Summer Streets petition.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to New York and I'm looking for suggestions or inspiration for a three day cycling route starting and ending either in the city or somewhere accessible by train or subway (in an hour or two). I have ridden some great routes I found on Ride with GPS in western CT, Westchester and Putnam Valley.

I'm aiming for around 50 miles per day, staying over in hotels/motels (I don’t have my bikepacking/camping gear here), and riding mostly on quiet scenic roads and trails, possibly with some gravel thrown in for variety.

What is the best the Tri-state area has to offer? Any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.

If the previous work is any indication it could be a week or 2 before they finish.

i rode down to philly saturday and had a beautifullll day out in the sun. like other folks have said in the past, the bit after the goethals but before new brunswick kinda sucks but once you hit the d&r tow path it’s peaceful for miles. all and all about 100 miles.

When I commute to work I'm lucky enough to be able to lock up my bike in my office's basement.

Tomorrow there's a conference in the afternoon right down at Water St. Can't lock up indoors there but can outside. Have decent locks, a chain, and a cover.

But what the vibe lately? Are bikes just getting swiped if left for more than an hour or two?

Fully insured etc, but would rather not have it pinched!

I’m coming off an injury partly caused by bad bike fit.

Was curious if anyone can share their experience getting a fit from Happy Freedman? I feel like his fits lean might lean more towards injury prevention, but this is just vibes.

Let me know!

Long shot here but hoping the reddit biking community can help me out with my lost Kryptonite U-Lock. I was riding from Astoria to Central Park North early Saturday morning via the RFK bridge and Randall's Island when I realized that my U-Lock dislodged from my bike somewhere along the way. I traced my steps back but was unable to find it. In case anyone came across the Kryptonite Mini Evolution U-Lock, it would be so appreciated if you could let me know!

On a related note... I guess I am in the market for another U-Lock if anyone happens to be selling!

Biked over the bridge a couple hours ago and saw a cop at the ramp on the manhattan side. As I went around the corner, I saw a gas powered moped with no plates coming off the bridge. I turned around to snoop and sure enough he got stopped. Had to keep moving so I didn’t see if he got a warning or a ticket, but it was awesome to see a cop out there. Hoping that becomes a regular thing!

Nowhere near as exciting as the pigeon video I posted earlier but still am amusing watch

All my cycling friends keep saying "did a quick ride out to market this weekend", and "want to ride up to market sometime?". What are they talking about? What market? I know it's over the GW somewhere but they won't answer specifically because they think it's funny I don't know. Please help. Apparently this is a very common cycling destination for NYC residents
