Every time I read about the pre-Industrial New York harbor I get so emotional

Why are so many regular New Yorkers distrusting of local government? This bridge’s sidewalk is a great example. It was closed for the better part of a decade, finally reopened last year, and now a few months later it’s completely closed again - all with no signage to even explain why

Nobody talks about how wild it is that the southern border of NYC and northern border of Philly are only like 40 miles apart

Terrible bike ride ideas I have:

-Broadway Ride: every Broadway variant in the City, they’re almost uniformly terrible to ride on
-Pizza Century: slice every 10 miles
-Brooklyn Historic District Ride: visit every District, so much redundancy
-Manhattan Avenues Ride: generally unpleasant

It's January, it's cold, and a lot of people still don't know how nice it can be to spend time outside in the winter. In this month's Parks on a Bike newsletter, I shared 5 great ways to find joy in the outdoors, even in the worst of winter. Read it here: parksonabike.substack.com/p/five-great...
Five Great Ways to Enjoy the Outdoors While It's Winter
....and a few musings on how to make NYC parks even better during the coldest time of year.

There’s just something about urban storefronts on the east coast that just hit. It’s a really unique, under appreciated visual language

There really is just hardly any urban form as singularly unique as Flushing anywhere else in the US

We’ve known for a long time that the effects of traffic are exponential, but it’s really amazing to watch in real time as a 7.5% reduction in cars from congestion pricing leads not to a little less gridlock, but basically free flowing streets in Manhattan
