What beauty 😍

Riding the wrong way.

Yeah the streets near me are noticeably empty, people cleared out pretty quickly for the holiday

Just as good as the pandemic days

I miss the pandemic streets

That’s the birth place of QB in LIC…true PANDEMONIUM any other time 😂

And it used to be WAY worse …yellow cabs are almost non existent now…

Why do half the posts on that sub seem to boil down to “NYC would be so much better if it didn’t have people in it”?

if you are on a bike please follow the roads as intended

Don’t people one they are part of the traffic they hate?

Looks almost infinitely better without all the cars

Did you mean to write "cars" instead of "people"?

That subreddit is not as bad as /r/fuckcars though. There's a lot more constructive posts.

There’s a bike path just to the left. So that’s nice too

It’s closed down for the marathon, it’s basically a giant open streets until the wheelchairs start

This makes no sense. Are you perhaps injecting your own preconceived notions into it? Point out one post from that sub that boils down to this. The sub is pro alternative forms of transport and generally opposed to car-oriented infrastructure

huh? did you mean to say "cars?"

No. I meant what I said (although of course o was being a bit hyperbolic for humor). There are plenty of cars in the linked video. What there aren’t are people. And then the comments talk about how nice it was to travel around during lockdown when there was no one around.

This whole area is unfortunate. When there was a second elevated subway line adjacent to the current one perhaps the sheer width of this abomination of a roadway made sense but not so anymore. I'm hoping the renovation of QB station will make it a bit more pleasant. It's a pain to cross right now and often feels unsafe with cars ignoring red lights, blocking crosswalks, and coming in hot off the bridge at 50 mph. Also it's shitty to cross by bike, there are no actual lanes going across so you have to use the crosswalks basically.

Wow

Feels like a freshly abandoned city

I miss having to actually watch my speed on the LIE and BQE
