Did anyone else see the mayor biking up the 59th street bridge yesterday evening?
I was casually doing my evening commute and glanced into the Manhattan bound lane only to realize I was making direct eye contact with Zohran Mamdani and he smiled at me 🥹 just curious if anyone else saw him!

My ideas for the next 5 Citi Bike Expansions
The latest round of Citi Bike expansions is wrapping up. Bay Ridge, Kensington, Riverdale, Norwood, Rego Park, and Forest Hills are all installed. Brownsville and East New York should be running soon. It's time to start thinking about which areas Citi Bike should prioritize next. One day I'd like to see the whole city covered!
I'm by no means an expert, but these are the 5 areas that should be prioritized next in my opinion.

Riverdale, The Bronx now has bikes!
Hello, been a resident of NYC 16+yrs, now in North Riverdale for 2+ yrs, and we finally got CitiBike up here. It’s great for going to the train and back. Yesterday I went to my gym on 231st and realized Broadway is not yet ready for bikes. There are cars double parked, busses use normal lanes as bus stops, pot holes all over the road, and no bike lane. Last week I was driving thru Astoria and I saw how amazing their new road looks under their elevated train with bike lanes and parking spots, and single lane of car traffic. I wonder how long it’ll take the city to fix Broadway in Kingsbridge and Riverdale. It’s long overdue!!
