But they're removing all the meters. Damn.<BR/><BR/>I think the best option (which isn't being considered) is to attach bike racks to existing structures, like street lamps.PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-51416869397359174542008-10-20T21:49:00.000-04:002008-10-20T21:49:00.000-04:00meters work fine by me. do they ever remove bikes from there? <BR/><BR/>maybe you can lock up other devices to the subway station. see if they get taken away.JOhttp://iwantmorefood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-14789529099923672832008-03-28T20:52:00.000-04:002008-03-28T20:52:00.000-04:00For guerilla bike lane striping, we need somebody with one of them machines. Who's got connections?<BR/><BR/>Bike lockers make sense if there's a big parking lot by the transportation. But here we're just talking staircases down. Just a simple object to which to lock a bike...<BR/><BR/>And yes, 35th Steet is official! Just 4 years after its southbound partner on 36th, a line of paint has been rolled out. In celebration, cars are already double parking! (though I’ll take an abused bike lane over none at all). Too bad it doesn’t actually go anywhere.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, it's on the right, unlike every other bike lane in NYC. I can't figure out if being on the right or left is better. <BR/><BR/>Annoyingly, it too stops at Kaufman Astoria Studios. What do they have against bike lines and why do they have the clout to prevent the city from painting a line on "their" street. Well, I know why they have the clout, but why do they care? Why don’t these lanes go the bridge, or anywhere?<BR/><BR/>[And up in that earlier comment I meant 29th St. going north, not 28th St.]PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-75898287387144250542008-03-28T01:06:00.000-04:002008-03-28T01:06:00.000-04:00bummer about not having a place to lock your bike at the subway. in Vancouver, where I live, they have bike lockers under our mass rail stops you can rent for $10/month...great for me, since it rains so much here. I ride there and store my gear in there too. I think it's subsidized by advertisers...Dan Websterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07210881577464802946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-21850168875369633602008-03-27T14:12:00.000-04:002008-03-27T14:12:00.000-04:00pcm, brilliant idea. <BR/>guerilla bike lane striping: any takers?deenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-79332120082196868112008-03-27T00:37:00.000-04:002008-03-27T00:37:00.000-04:00You are so right. I was biking home tonight when I realized indeed that 36th St is south and 35th St is what we've been waiting for. But I live off 33rd St., so I'll still probably stay on 28th St going north from the bridge. But I suppose at least now I can bike in bike lane both ways going to Walt's Hardware on Broadway.<BR/><BR/>Why isn't every street in Astoria bike laned? I mean, they are pretty much all one lane of traffic in two lanes of street. All it takes is a line of paint. Hell, I'd even do it myself (not a bad idea...).PCMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-83937186335752193092008-03-26T21:49:00.000-04:002008-03-26T21:49:00.000-04:0036th was striped, 35th wasn't. Still isn't, just the dotted lines. Bike boxes too... <BR/><BR/>Still hasn't solved the fact that it starts/ends at 34th Ave and the 36th St southbound route drops you into the speedway that is Astoria Blvd...<BR/><BR/>- just another astorian trying not to get flattened by crossing Astoria Blvd or 21st Street to get to the park...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11662550.post-82899056134913371812008-03-26T21:29:00.000-04:002008-03-26T21:29:00.000-04:0035th St has been striped for a few years. Did they add a part I don't know? <BR/><BR/>I love how it ends for no good reason and doesn't actually take you anywhere. <BR/><BR/>And of course there's no bike line going in the other direction, north. I think I read somewhere that there was community opposition.

I don't want to be a wrong way cyclist either. <BR/><BR/>Astoria bike lanes? Well... they just dotted the lanes on 35th St! Finally, a bike lane on a street I actually ride on! Wait... I was about to get excited but realized I only use 3 blocks of it. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, a little something to get excited about I guess. <BR/><BR/>-just another astorian straddling the saddle of a pothole bouncing two wheeled steedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
