biked along the ‘coast’ of brooklyn today—the greenway that goes from greenpoint to red hook—and it was so easy and protected and safe. i just really wish we could have more paths like that

soon after moving to nyc i got hit by a car riding my bike on 5th ave in sunset park and the next driver pulled up while I was still on the ground to ask if I wanted her to “go after” him. I said sure, she sped off, still don’t know if she found him or what transpired after that https://t.co/5oTOqyFWZ6
