@mikelydon.bsky.socialThis is the widest bike lane in NYC! Many people have been asking after screenings of my "Close Encounters of the 34th Avenue Kind" documentary "What's the next long project?" Here's a teaser of an idea - looking at dozens of #bikenyc infrastructure improvements before/afters from 2000 - present.
Show PostWith the @vox.com article out on people doing their own guerrilla bike lanes & crosswalks many folks are talking about #TacticalUrbanism.
