In my experience, cars actually go pretty slow in NY (Manhattan at least), even when there’s not a lot of traffic. I’m usually able to easily keep up with traffic on my bike.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThis is definitely not true on the multi-lane avenues. You're thinking of the single-lane streets. One good solution for the avenues would be to time their rolling green waves for an average of 15 mph. They just recently started doing this in Brooklyn on a particularly dangerous road.
- schrodinger 7y agoI’m referring to 5th and 6th ave near the village which I commute on every day. Some aves are worse.
- CydeWeys 7y agoSo you're referring to a few particular avenues in one neighborhood during rush hour. I'm just pointing out that that's hardly indicative of the overall speed of traffic across Manhattan at all times. Vehicles go fast on the avenues when they can, definitely faster than you would want to try to keep up with on a bike.
