also, remember in ny you have the history of type A’s trying to live the bike messenger nostalgia from when those guys were the only bikers on the streets. which wasnt that long ago. next add in the massive increases in tourists and citibikes. its maddeningly dangerous at this point in time. there is definitely a lot of ways to address it, but there is no denying how bad it is both anectdotally as a pedestrian and statistically.

as for cars, i never mentioned anything about that. but don’t get me started on those devilish ebikes lol.
HEY! I am an ebiker(jesus, that sounds so uncool) but I get it. I am neurotic so I go waaay out of my way to not annoy people or make them feel unsafe.
