For those not from NYC, Smith Street is also one of the main arteries towards the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, which cyclists use to get into Manhattan from Brooklyn. It's one of the busier bike lanes in Brooklyn.

Look at how flat and level that street is though. There is nowhere like that on my commute. It's beautiful.

It actually has a gradual descent at that part. It's like a quarter-mile of declination heading towards downtown brooklyn.

Incredible transportation mode, we absolutely must continue to subsidize this.

Riding like this would be one of the best feelings in the world, if you weren't at the constant mercy of those tiny side mirrors to avoid instant death

lol. instead of traffic light cameras on highways with no dedicated turn light to catch people making a left after opposing traffic has stopped, there should be cameras on blocks like this. I bet they’d make a LOT more money and actually perform a worthwhile service

i like this because it's useful AND if there happens to be some sort of accident it's less likely to kill the person or gently caress the train up (if it's an impact with a car)

At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
a few months ago, i completely changed my life by moving to an urban downtown with easy access to buses and light rail. i sold my car, so I do all of my errands or commutes either by walking or by mass transit.

it is something that i wish that everyone could do

If you look at the last pic it's pretty clear how public transit died out in the US... The streetcar has high, spacious ceilings, huge windows on all sides, and enormous, inviting wooden doors on both sides. The bus is unambiguously shittier... lower ceilings, more claustrophobic windows, smaller doors, which makes boarding and unboarding slower (and much harder for the elderly / disabled). We had good transit, and replaced it with much worse transit

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Probably was obeying the traffic laws and was in the intersection while the lights changed and the car couldn't wait for him to clear the motorway
