  • New York City bike lanes aren’t turn bays

    For some of these people, I wonder if they just didn’t know. There is an NYU dorm on this block and there was a lot of traffic being caused by people dropping off their kids who are about to start Fall Semester. I imagine a lot of them are from Upstate or Central New York…

  • Summer Streets Bronx

    The event was kind of sad and empty. I did my Summer Streets Bronx ride on the last day of Summer Streets at almost the last hour (Sunday August 25th at 1 PM), so maybe attendance was down, but I also did my Summer Streets Manhattan ride on the last day of that event at…

  • Summer Streets Manhattan Ride

    Summer Streets is an event in New York City where stretches of road are closed down from 7 AM to 3 PM to regular vehicle traffic and are opened up to pedestrians and cyclists for recreational use. It started out on just a small stretch of 4th Avenue, but year after year more roads and…

  • Sunday afternoon in Washington Square Park

    On the weekends, we’re almost always going out to do something active: chores, exercise, visiting family, eating out, etc. Yesterday, I had this idea in my head that I just wanted to get to a nice spot in a park and chill for a while. I could sit and read for a bit and take…

  • Getting there

    This is mostly Japanese language learning. I took a short break on Latin American Spanish but went back to Japanese. Next stop, 365 days. It’ll happen, because Duo threatens me daily from a widget on my Home Screen.

  • 30 years isn’t enough, but more than I expected

    I guess this case was too high profile for DA Bragg to sweep under the rug. Assamad Nash should never see the light of day again. He is the poster child for why New York’s bail “reform” law is not only a failure, but is actually harmful to residents. People with long rap sheets should…

  • No. I want the sauteed string beans.

    Called a Chinese restaurant near my office after work to order food to pickup on my way home. The experience turned out to be extremely odd. “Hello. I’d like to place an order for pickup.” “Ok, what would you like?” “I want the sauteed string beans.” “You want the sauteed string beans with shrimp?” “No.…

  • Went out for a ride today for the first time in quite a while

    It was nice to get out and ride around in the city a bit. I actually prefer it to the greenways sometimes because it’s more engaging and there’s more to look at. Sadly, I paused my workout while taking photos and forgot to restart it when I was down by Pier 36, but that just…

  • Getting a little work done

    Now I have to be careful. The last time I had brake pads and rotors replaced on a car, it was totaled while parked a few weeks later. I’d also just had a major service performed, so I was out of a car and out of the money for the service. Luckily, the insurance payout…

  • Pretty standard for New York City

    Spotted on a street light post near the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan, New York City
