    Truly wild to catch a glimpse of how valuable Broadway could be to the people of NYC as a linear park, then realize that in an hour we will choose to let it go back to being flooded by toxic metal boxes

    One of my favorite things about is that they’re community centers with bulletin boards. I put up some flyers for ’s upcoming Learn to Ride-Kids classes in nearby neighborhoods! 🚲📚

    We desperately need to let . Riding to on the unfinished part in , taking the lane and keeping the group together was extremely and unnecessarily nerve-wracking without a protected lane.

    P.S. But let’s also remember neither reading nor biking have to always be about commerce. So maybe our next should be visiting various branches of Queens Public Library??? cc 🤔💭

    I ❤️ bikes, but I ❤️ books even more. So it was an absolute joy to combine the two. Moral of day: safe streets & local bookstores are a great & natural pair. When you’re walking & biking, you’re far more likely to stop inside a shop & buy!

    One of my favorite moments of the day came when we used 2 parking spots to park about 20 bikes. Now this is what I call an efficient and smart use of space! 20 > 2! More customers = more $$$. (Can someone send this photo to every Queens Community Board?!?) – at Kew And Willow Books

    Fun not only to show off some of my favorite bookshops but also to highlight some of our current/past campaigns. Like Crescent St which is massively overbuilt causing the car traffic to speed dangerously. This space could be better used for a protected bike lane!
