Also tourists *stands in the way unaware that NYC is a city and not a zoo to just look at* No really it goes for any city really, there are people that live here!!!

When i first visited New York i couldn't believe how terrible the infrastructure is for a supposedly first world country.. Not just for cyclist, but for everyone. The above is a prime example. If you came from much of Europe, the above wouldn't even register as being a bike lane. A few faded markings, suddenly disappearing & reappearing at random. Same colour as the walkway. i've seen much better in other US cities too. Notice six lanes dedicated to cars. That's the problem - equitable distribution of available space.

Good to see runners using the bike lane as well as if im not mistaken the crossing is limited to 10mph, that way the runners dont take anyone out or clog up the cycle lane.

@Arjay404 6 жыл бұрын

Garbage infrastructure design. The bridge is clearly not wide enough to have both bike and pedestrian traffic using it, hell it's barely enough for 2 way pedestrian traffic considering the amount of people on it. This is the reason biking fails, designers just find a random road or path, paint a bike icon on the road or path and expect it to work. Even though the route may not lead anywhere, is away from where people want to go, is in terrible shape or is unsafe. Like what is with those light poles in the way and the fence curved around the poles. Get rid of one of the traffic types on this route or widen that section, have better separation, paint the bike section a color, I mean hell half the bike icons on the ground have worn away, if a pedestrian isn't paying too much attention they wouldn't even know they are walking on a bikepath.

That's not good enough, the bridge was old before they put the bikepath there, they should have realized that a bikepath where they put it just wasn't going to work or a good idea. Instead they should have maybe taken a care lane away and make it a bike lane or expanded the footpath.

@pierrevallet6188 6 жыл бұрын

Brooklyn bridge is a touristic bridge, by a Saturday in August, we know that the bridge will be totally overcrowded, furthermore if you are hurry, you could take Manhattan bridge. I know that riding Brooklyn bridge can be frustrating,but as bicycle users, we have to accepted the tourism on the bridge or change of town.

@Arjay404 6 жыл бұрын

How far apart are the bridges? As in, how big of a detour is it from one bridge to the other? Aside from that, I agree with you that if Manhattan Bridge is more capable of handling the traffic bikers should use that one, but the city also has to forbid and get rid of the bikelane on Brooklyn. (at least in the manner they did it, if they converted a car lane in a bike lane it could still work, but don't know how that would affect car traffic (real affect not just typical complaints car drivers have whenever there is any downside for them). If you give bikers a lane that leads somewhere they will use it.

@Arjay404 6 жыл бұрын

I just checked the distances on google maps and it's very reasonable, Brooklyn bridge should definitely not be a bike bridge in the state that it is now, there is a much better option closeby, with only a small detour, which would be much safer and better for everyone involved, also probably much quicker on some days depending on the pedestrian traffic, what good is a shorter route if you have to go at a snails pace to avoid crashing into anyone.

The problem in this situation is they have placed a bike lane where it is not practical to put a bike lane. You can't just slap a bike lane down anywhere and that means it will be usable

+actionkid105 - Your tax dollars at work - NOT!!! What few markings there are on the pavement indicating that it is a bicycle lane are so worn as to be practically obliterated. No wonder the pedestrians don't realize they're impeding traffic. Many of them appear to be tourists, unfamiliar with the area and mesmerized by the scenery.

@noahb2981 4 жыл бұрын

MarissaMacMarissa I disagree. It’s more often the fact that large groups of tourists take up the entire width of the pedestrian side, thus making it impossible to avoid walking in the bike lane. This could easily be solved if they put the road in the middle of the bridge, a bike lane on one side and a pedestrian lane on the other side.

Something SomethingSomething Pedestrians are a lot slower than bikes. If this bike lane wasn't so shitty, more people would bike across it and would be able to at higher speeds. Bikes are a bit wider than pedestrians and having the entire path as thin as its thinnest points would just be a dangerous bike lane for a two way.

You don't dare walk in bike lanes in the Netherlands, you WILL get run over. Why should it be any different here? Walkway is for pedestrians, bike lane for bikes, roadway for cars. We want sidewalks for pedestrians for safety, so cars won't hit them. We don't want bicycles on the sidewalk for the same reason, so where do we put them, in the roadway with cars where it's dangerous for them. So we build bike lanes to have three separate safe areas for all, and what do pedestrians do? "Oh, I'll walk here too". If you walk on a cycle path and get hit, it's your own fault.
