In honor of NYC's new shame stickers for those that don't move for street cleaning, I offer my own design for bike lane blockers, free of charge:

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
If the cops are going to be at Summer Streets again can someone teach them how to direct traffic please?
Summer Streets, the rare time NYC goes car free, always demonstrate how unjust our streets are normally
Car free Summer Streets is the best free event in the world, but the city has added some new absurdities this year.
We desperately need people to understand the difference between e-bikes and e-motos
Legendary DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan always wanted to pedestrianize the Grand Central Viaduct. We're still waiting on a Mayor with the vision
These two vehicles were just involved in a very public fatal crash in NYC, can you guess which everyone rushed to blame and called to ban? (PS: they should both be banned.)
MANHATTAN SUMMER STREETS next 3 Saturdays: Aug 1, 8 & 15! I'll be there shooting video so if you see me please stop and chat! Here's what 66th & Park looks like 362 days of the year versus 3. LET'S CHANGE THAT EQUATION! @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org @thewaroncars.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov
Reminder: "Summer Streets" is this Saturday, 10+ miles of car free Park Ave. Get your friends that don't ride micromobility here to try it
NYC is now using smart signals to keep green lights open for buses and change them faster if they're waiting at a red
The new Lafayette 2 way bike lane upgrade is here, and it's a stunner

Car Free Summer Streets returns this weekend, starting in Queens. This is how we rode it a few years ago, in a more... relaxed... era.
If civic nerd comedy is your thing, boy do I have a pack of nerds for you. Looking forward to shitting up @charlietodd.com's show next week:
There is just way too much space given to vehicles in NYC for a pedestrian city. It's absurd. Farcical.
Almost certain to be an unbelievably comical amount of crimes committed here
The Toronto Ben Jays 🇨🇦⚾️@benjayingly.com · 2w agoOne very important part of this is that bike lane opponents have never been weaker in this city. In the Facebook group devoted to complaining about the Court Street bike lane, Mazzone Hardware is struggling to raise money for a likely-doomed appeal against January's ruling in favor of the lane.
On today's episode of "the degenerates you share the street with"
While the World Cup Finals happens a few miles away, NYC actually controlled the car traffic for once, showing it can be done.
Reminder: It's been a very long fight versus very awful people, but New York celebrates the community win on 31st Street this weekend:
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:
