New Yorkers can't even identify fucking shapes

  For anyone wondering these are, legally speaking, ebikes. As in they squeezed a delivery truck into the legal definition for a bike to be able to use bike lanes.

    Well then we need to change the definition of ebikes. Either that or we only allow private personal vehicles to use the bike lane.

      maybe better to consider them bikes encourage their use and replace more car lanes with bike lanes.

      They are still better than cars.

      That would mean a bike courier / delivery driver on an actually real bike would not be allowed anymore

      In the Netherlands, delivery vehicles use bike lanes all the time, however, these are made by local manufacturers that aren’t as big as this

      For Example

      There should be a common sense rule to laws. Like, sometimes you look at sobering ABS it’s obviously not right

      The bike lane is usable. I mean, for about a half-a-block at a time, cause of the parked cars.

      I wish NYC would allow citizens to take a video of a car parked in the bike lane for more than a minute, issue a ticket, and make it profitable for the ticket issuer. All of the problems would go away overnight.

      And actually, I wish we could take videos of cars going through red lights. Or, LOL, illegal u-turns. “Go around the block” is not a thing anymore. Everyone just turns around wherever the fuck they are.

      If it’s like www.youtube.com/watch?v=483oaUU1tIs then the entire vehicle is built to the exact limits of e-bike laws. For example you can theoretically propel that thing by pedalling even if it is never intended that the ‘rider’ would do so.

  Yeah idk why they painted a bicycle on the Amazon Parking Lane

  Oh no. Now we have justification for expanding bike lane infrastructure.

  source

  • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Wanted to bitch about it with everyone else. but you singlehandedly changed my mind.

    Fuck Amazon, but more bike infrastructure is good.

    • blindbunny@lemmy.ml ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      They want to use the bike lane so they don’t have to follow traffic laws.

      Bike infrastructure is good, capitalism still bad.

    I don’t know if you know this, but corporations are staffed by people who are in control of their own actions.

    source

    • the_abecedarian@piefed.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      actually the board, C suite, and upper management are the ones who control what the employees do. maybe you’ve experienced this at your own job.

  If they’re moving along the bike lanes the way cyclists use them I don’t have big beef here.

  If they’re then PARKING in the bike lanes to go make their deliveries, we have a problem. One that can be solved pretty easily considering these aren’t cars and are very light. Very easy to tip. Especially when they’re just sitting there abandoned in a flat bike lane.

  Yeah, I just hope NYC is taxing the fuck out of those quadra-cycle-boxes. I know we aren’t, but come on- Amazon trucks routinely park all day near my apt, blocking the bike lane and half of the road. Tax them, tax them, tax them.

  how is that an ebike it has 4 wheels

  source
• Brkdncr@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  It looks like the bike lane ended right before the truck.

  source

  • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Yep. WTF the bike lane just ends and cars are signaled into moving there?

    It is probably safer than just making cars cross the lane, but there’s some transition missing there.

  ebikes are vehicles in the same way that motorcycles are as in they are not exclusively human powered. They belong in the normal lanes with the other non human powered vehicles. It’s dangerous to riders in the bike lane legally when ebikes and other vehicles are whipping around because they want to skip the line.
