A fun "Spring Community Ride for Safety" on NYC's UWS (72nd Street) with kids & neighbors supporting the new project!

My first 2026 video coverage (besides my months long editing of the 34th Ave documentary) since getting my shoulder replacement. Went quite well. What I was totally unprepared for: we are in a new era, hearing so many people say to me on camera "We are here to support the mayor and NYC DOT for their new plans for 72nd Street" is mind boggling!!

I mean these kinds of comments would not happen. Just didn't. Perhaps after a project was FINISHED you'd get some glowing things said. Mayor Mamdani has really changed the atmosphere and excitement and hope for the future! Great fun ride with the kiddos.

Bergen Street Bike Blvd Proposal: Many cranks saying it's impossible for NYC_DOT to install them because buses run on it. Solution: London's Bus Gates inside of LTN's.

In London inside LTN's (= bike blvds) there are "Bus Gates" which allow safe biking, bus & local access. NYC needs Low Traffic Neighborhoods. Why not start here?
