This toot brought to you by the car-disaster that is #AustinSt in #ForestHills. I was biking on 70th Rd to get to Austin St, which has angled back-in parking because hey why not? Someone was parking, so of course there was a line of 4 cars that I was passing when the driver of one of the cars starts laying on the horn impatiently as I was literally a foot away next to the car. I made the mistake of not wearing headphones. Must remember to always wear headphones when biking in NYC.
Oh yeah, I saw this going down on Tues. Lots of FDNY trucks and cops.
I actually went in there 5 months ago looking for a battery that would fit my Kombi, but was a bit sketched out by the disassembled ones. #Queens#ForestHills
When the lady saw that I had arrived by bike, she gave me this card and said, "Show this to NYPD if they try to ticket you for using the leading pedestrian interval*. It's legal, and this has the law at the bottom." I was like, "why don't you tell NYPD instead of me?"
The area near us that gets throngs of costumed kids used to close the street to cars. It's not closed tonight, so there's tons of little kids walking in the streets while drivers are trying to drive thru.🙁
