Some shots from our free bike valet and tune-ups at the #Hoboken Earth Day Festival on Sunday! Biking isn't just convenient and fun, it's good for the planet! Huge thanks to all of our volunteers and everyone who stopped by, and a big shoutout to our friends @bikejc.org for lending us the racks!

NJ's new restrictions on e-bikes are raising serious concerns for riders across the state. We joined @bikejc.org on @biketalk.bsky.social to unpack what the law does, the situation that led us here, and where we go next. Don't miss the end where we share some hopeful news on #Hoboken Vision Zero!

There is a wave of anti-ebike legislation, and it appears to have hit New Jersey first. Or hardest. @bikehoboken.org @bikejc.org @calbike.bsky.social @damiankevitt.bsky.social soundcloud.com/biketalk/26-...

#Hoboken has insightful data from our Curb Study report, showing a less pronounced but similar condition on our streets. Although 80% of households don’t drive to work, almost all of our public street space is used for storing cars that are used 1-2x per week.

A good set of stats from a 2017 @nycdot.bsky.social study on carsharing. As much as 92% of cars in Park Slope are "stored," meaning they are not used for commuting. Similar numbers in other nearby neighborhoods. The snow just reveals what multiple studies already show. www.nyc.gov/assets/brook...

Slide from PDF showing map of Brooklyn Community Distrtic 6. Park Slope:
• 62%-94% cars owned are “stored”
• 65%-72% workers take transit
• Red Hook: single family / NYCHA
• 72%-93% cars owned are stored*
• 40%-70% workers take transit
• Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens:
• 62%-89% cars owned are stored*
• 60%-74% workers take transit
• Boerum Hill:
• 61%-89% cars owned are stored*
• 66%-74% workers take transit

Preliminary data has proven CLEAR to be effective at keeping Washington Street safe and productive. The pilot should be extended until #Hoboken has a suitable replacement for enforcing parking violations.

Picture of an unobstructed bus stop with overlaying text saying:

Keep Washington Street CLEAR. Hoboken's camera-assisted parking enforcement pilot has demonstrated success at keeping Washington Street safe and productive. The pilot program is scheduled to end on Dec 31st, but the program should continue until Hoboken has a suitable replacement for enforcing our laws.

What an amazing year it's been! Come celebrate with us on a full year of advocacy successes and fun times together. 🎉 Join us on Wednesday from 7-9pm at the Hoboken Biergarten for a casual and fun Year End Celebration! We look forward to talking bikes, rides, advocacy, and meeting new friends.

We had so much fun at yesterday’s Bike Lane Party! We spent the morning at 6th and Grand St meeting people, sharing information about the Grand Street Complete Streets Pilot, and spreading the joy of safe streets!

More from yesterday’s World Day of Remembrance observances in Jersey City, with our new or refreshed roadside memorials in the Western Slope, Journal Square, and Greenville. May we honor the memories of those lost to traffic violence by ending it. #WDoR2025 🕯️
