Commute too and from work here in NYC. Built this site after one too many close calls in the bike lanes of this city. I hope this site can be a tool for change and education.

Interesting abuse of public property by Marriott

Addams st and Willoughby, Brooklyn, NY

This was sent to me by a member so I am posting for him.

Yet again (see http://nyc.mybikelane.com/post/index/4005) the Marriott in Brooklyn (Adams St) is actually encouraging cars to park in the bike lane.

Given the proximity to the various city buildings, you have to wonder why this is not only allowed, but seemingly encouraged?

Livery runs stop sign in front of me

Smith St and Sackett St, Brooklyn, NY

As I was heading down Smith St at a pretty good pace (keeping up with traffic at around 20mph+), a livery car driver decides that he can "make it" and pulls out from his stop sign directly in front of me. I t-bone his rear quarter panel and fly off the bike. What a morning.

Technically not a bike lane violation, but so what. I need to vent!
