I meant first place in the “idiot crown” :)
However, I do not understand people advocating for two way bike lanes on avenues. It defeats the point of green waves. It would still be faster to go over to 2nd to go downtown rather than (legally) salmoning down 1st and quickly hitting a red light.
With a green wave a cyclist can make 20-30 blocks easily if they are decently trained and riding a road bike. I’ve made it from Houston to the 59th St bridge without hitting a red light (1st Ave tunnel helps!!)
