Miser
@misernyc
Organized many of the marches for congestion pricing in NYC. Started the daylighting movement, run MicromobilityNYC, and advised Zohran from day 1 of his campaign. (Was also the template for his own video strategy.) We're building a movement here
Maybe we should be doing things to restrict cars and their additional pollution before all that purple shit from the wildfires gets here...
The legal geniuses fighting 31st St (and 72nd St) have filed a completely new lawsuit, forgot to change the names during copy/paste
Insane: The 72nd Street bike and busway has been halted by a judge's TRO, the latest in a pattern of drivers attacking the urban character of NYC
Welp, once again, they've tricked a clueless judge into breaking the functioning of our government... Restraining Order issued on 72nd st
A new group of bike-hating carbrains have sued to try and stop the bike and bus lanes on 72nd Street
Reminder: they tried to kill this with lawsuits, and death threats. Our movement beat them anyway, but we need to continue building public support. Join us:
Strong take, but I don't think you can truly appreciate the beauty of NYC if you don't ride micromobility. It's integral to the experience
They tried to kill this bike lane with law suits, harassment, death threats, etc, but we won. Now we celebrate. If you're in NYC come join us, it's important for the whole community
ANNOUNCEMENT: The 31st St fight has been insane, but now is proof of a new era for our movement with a new administration. We plan to celebrate
Congestion pricing sped up emergency response time, exactly as predicted. Why aren't there plans to expand it yet?
Happy 4th of July, we lit the Brooklyn Bridge on fire and FDNY couldn't respond well because of all the cars in the way. America, fuck yeah.
We should tax the FUCK out of big black SUVs. These are status symbols of wealth and power clogging our city. Part of the display of wealth is the obscene cost of operating this crap, so let's make that the case
You may not care about this if you don't live in NYC, but it's a pretty good example of how bike lane networks are rarely cohesive, even in NYC. Car drivers have a million options, but we often don't even have 1.
Many elderly and disabled people depend on our bike lane network, and yet are somehow completely invisible to and neglected by society.
If pedestrians understood Green Waves (or anyone were actually advocating for pedestrians other than micromobility riders) they would demand them on every single street
Some small but extremely significant number of drivers are truly deranged. Not just bad drivers, unhinged psychopaths. Normal drivers don't realize how much of an effect this has on people outside of cars. (The bike rider who took this video, "FollowingNo3327" is talking to the cops btw, he told me)
A mere 8 years ago we removed cars from Central Park. Never listen to anyone that claims you can't remove cars. Ever.
8 years ago today cars were removed from Central Park. Crazy to think any random person could just blast right through this world treasure
The magical effect of the Green Wave, visualized as if it were an NFL first down marker
If you are interested in cities or transportation and haven't familiarized yourself with GREEN WAVES yet you really need to do yourself a favor. This is THE magic bullet.
I honestly think Summer Streets are the best events in NYC, and possibly the world. 10 miles of car free walking, riding, and jogging through all of Manhattan, completely free. Just unbeatable.
A big litmus test for me is whether candidates for office actually ride bikes and take transit. Chuck Park (running for Congress) has been riding here for decades.
9th Ave just got widened sidewalks, to correct a decades long injustice, when sidewalks were stolen from pedestrians to make more room for cars
Zohran fulfills promise to complete bike lane previous mayor Adams infamously took bribes to kill.
We will know we've won when everyone lets their kids ride bikes without fear. Also, my family was nowhere near as cool as @charlietodd.com's growing up.
