Why are you walking with your stroller in the bike path?
- SkipperCat 3y agoIn NYC, there are a lot of shared bike/pedestrian paths, so the commenter may be legit in their use of the path.
- throw1234651234 3y agoAbsolutely. They cross over all the time and there is way too much going on to always be aware of your surroundings.
- jakelazaroff 3y agoWhere, Riverside Drive? The parks? The vast majority of bike lanes I see either A) do not exist, so bikers are forced to share space with either cars or pedestrians, or B) a narrow lane in the road demarcated by only paint. Plus, bike lanes are often blocked by delivery trucks, taxis, etc, so bikers end up having to share space with cars or pedestrians anyway.
- fnfjfk 3y agoNot really? It’s mostly the uptown section of the greenway and the Jamaica bay path that are shared, and the latter is mostly used by enthusiasts (distance runners and roadies) that are aware, it’s not a big problem. The other “paths” in NYC are split, greenway down/midtown, Flushing/Kent path, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Red Hook path. And of course the vast majority of bike lanes are on the street rather than “paths”.
- DrThunder 3y agoPaths in the US are usually multi-use. Almost no where has a dedicated bike lane, and if they do it's just a line on the side of the road. If you're going to be speeding along at 20mph the side of the road works just fine.
