You need something much stronger than a bike horn to be honest. I know it's going to weigh the bike down, but a freighter ship's foghorn might do the trick.

Tourists:"Why do New Yorkers hate us?" 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!!! So follow the rules including etiquette rules such as stand on the right walk on the left on escalators. That one is a pet peeve of mine.

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.

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.

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
@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
@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.

I actually prefer to use the Manhattan bridge. Both the pedestrian and bike paths are pretty clear. The only issue I find with it is that in addition to being a regular bridge, it is also a train bridge (the BDQN) and tends to be very loud/give off the impression of shaking when a train is passing.

Ringing my bell as much as I could I don't know how people ride across that bridge every day without getting pissed at people. Lol

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.

@@SchoolforHackers don’t know what the dynamics of it are, but in this particular case at this time, pedestrians should be prioritized since they have the numbers by a huge amount.

Why is their a bike lane in the pedestrian walkway anyway? I agree you guys are entitled to your own space but this time it looks like your space is on pedestrian space, it would be impossible for them not to flood over to your lane, it's too tight a space and their are too many people. I guess don't bike on the damn bridge huh? Or better yet, have some humility and patience, notice how there were other bikers too and not a single one of them shouted or yelled at a single person.
