So let me get this straight: NYC is cracking down on $2.75 fare evasion (done by mostly young people & poor) but NOT do anything about NYPD officers & city workers who are purposefully altering their licenses plates so they can skip $10+ tolls & red light/speed camera tix?

Have teams. Crackdowns everyday at some random access point in NYC. Pull over every tenth car. Inspect. 1st offense: $500/fine. 2nd: $1K & car towed away. No kid gloves. If you're deliberately doing this you are a criminal. NYPD, FDNY, cityworker, elected ➡️no exceptions. NONE!

Congestion pricing's success depends on toll collection — and experts warn that phony or defaced licensed plates could cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars.

Want to pass 300+ cars in ~3 minutes by #bikenyc ? One certainly can do so almost anywhere in NYC at rush hour. But any day 6am-9pm bike the Queens Blvd approach to QBB. If this doesn't show how broken NYC is, I don't know what will. I especially feel bad for the bus riders.

Our film on biking around Minneapolis is up! Here's a short clip from the ten minute epic, hearing about how in the past 10+ years they've shifted from painted lanes to true barrier-separated or sidewalk-level biking spaces. Full @Streetfilms CLICK HERE:

Can we please "disperse" cars when they crowd the streets? Seriously, why is there a problem with this or bikes or anything other than cars "overwhelming" the streets? It's not like these people did this in the middle of rush hour. This is lame.

Okay I can't get to everywhere, but this crosstown stretch of 20th Street in Manhattan is absolutely wonderful. Why can't every east-west route look like this? (Yeah, I know width...) but still two-way with some protected & bus islands is killer. Better crosstown lanes please!

Yesterday at 545pm. Kosciusko Bridge. It's a good thing we re-built it with extra lanes so we can have even worse traffic jams than before!

Curb extensions ("daylighting") vs. none! Took a #bikenyc jaunt to lunch in Forest Hills when I saw these 2 intersections a block apart. Thought might be useful to document for comparison. Benefits: -Slows turns -More ped visibility -Changes turning radius -Removes parking

A @Streetfilms apology! Been teasing our Ghent films (15+ minutes) which are finished, but now holding their release until Jan 2, 2020. It's an amazing story that needs to have a proper posting. However, to make it up I chose this 1 minute section as a teaser to get you excited!

If you want really successful, beautiful, used school streets like Paris, it's very important to consider design elements and how they are used in every roll out. Listen to the experts in this excerpt from our @Streetfilms which essentially the only in-depth one on social media.

My son read a story for his homework about a kid who moved from the city to somewhere that sounded like hell to both of us.

When I went to Paris to document the newest bike lanes I got to see many, but also couldn't resist a re-visit to look at the Rue de Rivoli which must be Paris' most shot by visitors. Here are the incredible before/afters. To see the entire @Streetfilms :

After a week of walking & biking in The Netherlands, I feel like raising a child in most cities in the USA is a form of abuse.

Who knew?? Until I met @derekkerton I never knew what the "Paris Trombone" was! It's a specially designed bike rack deployed just about everywhere in Paris! Hear more about the benefits...
