Regardless of where you stand on bike lanes (which, if you're a New Yorker, is probably right in the middle of them, as you'll soon see), you've got to admit this is elegant reasoning. While I support bike lanes, the truth is that in practice they don't always work as well as those digitally-rendered "livable streets" imaginings you see on Streetsblog. This is because New York is a crowded city, and our pedestrians (meaning, really, all of us) are innately compelled towards broad thoroughfares on which to perambulate. Obviously we cannot do this where there is heavy motor vehicle traffic, but as soon as that traffic is removed it's inevitable that this reclaimed pavement becomes flypaper for shoppers:
Avid recyclers:
And postal workers:
Not to mention joggers, Rollerbladers, skateboarders, professional dog walkers, private dog walkers, operators of motorized wheelchairs, nannies playing "fast and loose" with other peoples' babies, "hipsters" on those stupid Puch mopeds, and any other person bearing a sizable load, operating any vehicle that is not a car, or engaged in an activity that requires ample room for limb-swinging. In addition, there is of course the often less-than-ideal behavior of the cyclists themselves. Consider this hard-hitting local news bike lane behavior exposé (via Streetsblog), which takes many of these factors into account:
I strongly believe that every bike lane and bridge crossing in New York City should be graveled immediately. Firstly, gravel would make it nearly impossible to ride a skateboard or push a shopping cart in the bike lane. Secondly, gravel bike lanes would probably eliminate almost all brakeless fixed-gear riding within a week. Consider this rider I encountered recently:
It's become an all-too-familiar scenario: as you're riding up the bridge, you're passed by a brakeless track bike rider in the standard "hipster" out-of-the-saddle-with-hands-on-the-bar-tops climbing position. Then, just when you think you've seen the last of him, you get stuck behind him on the downhill as he slowly grinds himself to a halt, weaving and skip-stopping and taking up two lanes of traffic, as pictured above. However, if this bridge crossing were graveled, he'd almost certainly give up his ways after the very first evening spent picking small rocks out of his thigh.
In fact, the gravel could make Dutch bikes even more popular. This would lead to even more shady street-level Dutch bike dealing, which is already on the rise:
"Back in the day," it was impossible to walk the streets of downtown Manhattan without hearing the constant call of the drug dealer. Now, the whispered entreaties of "Smoke, smoke?" have given way to, "Pssst, wanna buy a Dutch bike?"

By the way, note this commuter's iPhone placement:
I guess when he needs to take a call he just cocks his head to the left.
Note also that whenever a video camera is switched on in any city in America, a "fixie" rider will immediately enter the frame and gratuitously dart in front of a truck:
In any case, New York is a city in transition--a place in which an aggressive and survivalist riding style is being rendered moot by a cycling-friendly infrastructure, yet at the same time a place where many cyclists disregard that infrastructure because they're enamored with the aggressive and survivalist riding style of yesteryear. For this reason, giving New Yorkers a bike-friendly infrastructure can sometimes seem futile, like when I give my helper monkey Vito a fork at dinner and he just scratches himself with it before putting his face right back in the mashed potatoes. At the same time, those who do want to use the bike-friendly infrastructure often can't, due to the idling trucks and waddling shoppers and avid recyclers. I mean, I prefer to use a fork, but it's a lot less appetizing when it's been down a monkey's pants.

Note also that whenever a video camera is switched on in any city in America, a "fixie" rider will immediately enter the frame and gratuitously dart in front of a truck:

Still, I support bike lanes, but it's clear we need a real-world solution the aforementioned problems. Fortunately, I have one, and that solution is gravel:

By the way, take a closer look at that frame:
At almost $4,000 for the frame and fork this is the perfect set-up for "killing it" on your urban commute:
We really need more secure bicycle parking in New York City so people can continue to use exotic professional-level racing bicycles as everyday transportation.


In addition to discouraging pedestrians with small-wheeled contraptions and riders on brakeless bicycles with narrow tires, gravel bike lanes would also rid the city of roadies, who lock up their arms and crash at the mere mention of the word. Meanwhile, riders of tank-like Dutch bikes would be largely unaffected by gravel--though I'm not sure that's a good thing. Consider this fashionisto executing the classic crosswalk-to-salmon maneuver:

(She'll be strung out on "cycle chic" before the Vogue September issue is off the stands.)
It's like "The Wire," only with more espadrilles. By the way, if you're a "cycle chic" addict, you may have noticed that those aren't necessarily Dutch bikes, strictly speaking--which is fitting, since "back in the day" most of that "Wednesday weed" wasn't what they said it was either.
Also, I admit that the ongoing problem of "shoaling" would probably also be relatively unaffected by gravel:

Here is a truly "epic" shoal that formed in front of me recently:
With the exception of the gentleman in the purple shirt (he must be another minimalist, since they love purple), behind whom I duly stopped in accordance with the unwritten rules of society, all of these riders arrived after I did, venturing as far into the intersection as they dared in order to get the coveted Manhattan Bridge holeshot.
I was even repeatedly shoaled recently by a rider on some kind of electric contraption:
I'm not sure what his vocation was, but there's just something about the electric bike, cargo shorts, and plaid backpack that suggests "marijuana delivery person."
Also, I admit that the ongoing problem of "shoaling" would probably also be relatively unaffected by gravel:
Here is a truly "epic" shoal that formed in front of me recently:
I was even repeatedly shoaled recently by a rider on some kind of electric contraption:
At no point, however, was I shoaled by anybody riding a bamboo bike. By the way, according to this video which was forwarded to me by a reader, bamboo is a great material for bicycles as long as you don't get it wet or leave it in the sun:
Also, it's apparently "sustainable," even though the stuff bolted to it is no different from the stuff bolted to any other bike made out of any other material. Honestly, while I certainly begrudge no man his woodworking project, in terms of environmental impact I'm not really sure how this is any different than putting wood veneer on your IRO.
Show me a bamboo headset, then I'll be impressed.

non-ant top ten. Good work today Ant1. Hell of a breakaway when you can zip up the jersey and celebrate like that.
ant1!!!!!!!
Bamboo bike vid. Looks like Boston to me. Don't let him get near my pet panda that I keep at Mass General Hospital.
Gravel would be the minimalist's road surface of choice, no?
"She'll be strung out on Cycle Chic before the next Vogue ... drops." Beauty, snob.
I saw a dude on a Look track bike with Mavic wheelset (and Brooks Saddle) on the Williamsburg the other day. He was using those toe straps you sort of shove your sneaker into, which I believe were favorably reviewed here recently.
I don't even want to know how much that setup cost.
While I understand the appeal of commuting on a 14 lb bike, I have to say I'd be embarrassed to be that guy.
Also, what good is it when you either have to carry 10 lbs of locks, or you're out $200 any time someone filches a single part from your rig.
Is a $3000 single speed brakeless commuter bike minimalist?
Is there such a thing as cheapist?
@ old hipster-fuck yeah! it's me!
Bamboo Shoals...
As to the sprint for the podium I think ant1 came off his line unfairly blocking other racers, and should be relegated by race officials. Then, again, with that many legs all spinning around it's hard to keep the bike straight, ain't it, ant1?
i'd love to take credit for my performance today, but it actually was the work of the cycling gods. for the first time in its 18 month existence, my track bike will be heading to the velodrome tonight. this full podium is my heavenly reward.
one less poser
On a recent cycling trip in the Netherlands I rode through Breukelen. It's full of giant houses with extravagant gardens.
I dunno about the gravel idea dissuading roadies. I just spent a weekend riding my road bike on gravel paths and I loved it.
Commuting by bike is srs bsns
The dude with the Iphone shoulder strap probably had the app called "iBomb", which is kind of like an Iphone rally navigator for fixed gear riders through urban streets. Frightening trend? Reports of hipsters "iBombing" blindfolded for gang initiations to show their faith in "iTech". Only a matter of time....
Pretty sure that shady duch bike dealer is actually peddling Chinese or Indian bikes which are like Dutch bikes except they have elliptical wheels and rod brakes that don't work when it's wet (or dry)
At first glance, the guy at the front of the "epic" shoal photo looks like he's only wearing red underwear which I find hilarious.
thanks for reminding me that I need to be a little more respectful of others in my daily commute. It would probably help make the world a better place. One problem that keeps me from doing so is the complete disregard that drivers, walkers, rollers, runners, shoppers, tourists, recyclers, mimes, pigeons, etc have for bikers and the bike lane, as you point out so eloquently. So I usually am riding in a hypersensitive passive aggressive mindset, which makes it really hard to be respectful and to follow the "share the road" rules. Which leads to behaviour such as approaching a clueless pedestrian who has wrongfully invaded MY bikelane, usually in some smart phone induced oblivion, at full speed only to veer away at the very last second with a wildly yelled warning of something like "wake the fuck up asshole!". I regret this behavior. but do it everyday. maybe i should take the subway? I shoal therefore I am.
The gravel bike path idea is just BSNYC's freudian slip revealing his cyclocross fetish. We are so close to September that I can almost smell embrocation. But do you really want thousands of NY hipsters trading Cinelli's for Ridleys? and Aerospokes for Dugasts just to commute? Oh, the horror.
is perambulate pretentious for walking?
have fun ant1, you'll love it, it's great fun..
ant1 - DLV? I'm going to try to come down there for a race before the end of the season (11 more weeks?)
CP was pretty civilized today. On my way to work up 6th ave this morning, I encountered a female salmon - of course weaving around a truck parked in the bike to boot. As we passed I calmly asked her if she was trying to kill me.
hillbilly - yep, DLV. there's a pro madison race the 11th of sep. if i remember correctly. i plan on being there.
$275 catlike helmet on the $4000 commuter
Gravel?!? Brilliant!!! It will not stop any shoaling, but certainly toughen up any two wheeled riders that hang out thereafter. New York could become the next Paris-Roubaix...it already could, just do not tell anyone.
@old hipster:
Cheapist recipe:
In a large bowl, mix 2 parts commuter with 1 part retrogrouch. Steal a $2000 bike from the result, and replace it with a crappy used mountain bike. Renew chain & cassette. Add fenders, lights, and street tires. Bake at 4:20 for several hours on a Wednesday. Decorate to taste.
Now you have a cheapist.

bamboo bike boy's smug smile inspires injurious impact
Isn't Bamboo an invasive species? I know that around here, it's frowned upon given it grows so fast and aggressively and is really hard to kill once you don't want it anymore.
But, hey, in that respect, it's sustainable.
I work in the bike world and we recently received a bamboo bike that had catastrophically failed. The cyclist was riding downhill, hit a bump, and the entire front end of the bike snapped off. Both the top tube and the down tube snapped, leaving him with a front wheel, fork, headset, and handlebars no longer attached to the rear of the bike.
He's still alive, last I heard.
Conundrum well put:
In any case, New York is a city in transition--a place in which an aggressive and survivalist riding style is being rendered moot by a cycling-friendly infrastructure, yet at the same time a place where many cyclists disregard that infrastructure because they're enamored with the aggressive and survivalist riding style of yesteryear. For this reason, giving New Yorkers a bike-friendly infrastructure can sometimes seem futile, like when I give my helper monkey Vito a fork at dinner and he just scratches himself with it before putting his face right back in the mashed potatoes.

I mean, I prefer to use a fork, but it's a lot less appetizing when it's been down a monkey's pants.
(Boston is similarly addled in the silverware area when it comes to the ever growing bike lane infrastructure)
Major part of the solution:
Start obeying the traffic signals, folks. You can't spit fire at the driver of a car if you are also not adhering to the rules.
Ant1 is on EPO, I swear...
Hey whatever happen to that redneck guy that used to post here from a "libary" or somnething? i dont think i have seen a post from him in a while...
yeah the bamboo thing seems silly to me
dangerous
expensive
how 'sustainable' is it really, if your frame snaps every year or 2

Shut it floyd ^^^
It's really just an ant swarm on our daily picnic of snark.

And what of your epoxy, no off-gasing there?
Just ride and shut it. Like floyd.
Actually, bamboo is grass, not wood. Because grass grows more quickly than wood and uses far fewer resources, it is more "sustainable." From the authoritative Wikipedia:
"Bamboo is a group of perennial evergreens in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family."

It's good to see the $4000 commuter wore an aero kit to maximize those precious watts.

Shame there is no video, I picture a guy in cutoff jean shorts, Birkenstocks, a tie-dyed t-shirt listening to Phish on his iPod.
The best part about bamboo bikes is that the tubing can be recycled to make bamboo crutches and wheelchairs.

Everyone's on the bamboo wagon, seen here in secret island testing, the new GM Gorobama .
Friend of mine has a Calfee Bamboo bike:
The bike is pretty sweet - not even too heavy, rides well, and is of course a nice conversation starter. Rain is not an issue. Overall kind of a cool thing.
...despite the fact we now call him Gilligan
I was suprised to see one fixie rider actually stopped at the light standing on both feet and not showing off doing a trackstand in the pics.Wow is he out of touch.Talk about going against the grain.You wouldnt believe how many newjack posers are riding fixies at my college.Yesterday as I was taking a break on the 2nd floor balcony I saw one douche just salmoning on his brand new Bianchi pista w matching celeste wheels through the students w no destination but to impress his fellow students.I watched him about 5 minutes parading for attention no hands through the campus.He ended up where he started at the overfilled bike rack to park his brand new machine along with all the other poseurs.I was impressed.
Cut your nails dood. You've got sissy hands.
yes, some of these people are ridiculous, and deserve to be made fun of. however, last anon, you've just mocked a guy for a completely harmless spin around the block. college student do something stupid and pointless??!! No!!! say it ain't so!

...you funny, bikesnob guy...talk like hulk...hulk no have problem w/ bike salmon...hulk smash...
...hulk always have clear bike lane or hulk smash everything in way...
...hulk like to ride tarck bike...
"I guess when he needs to take a call he just cocks his head to the left."
Nu-Wilma on a two way almost took me out like this. She was on the phone, hand held, as she approached me, wanted both hands on the bars for "safety" to make the pass, so she put the phone on her shoulder and cocked her head to keep it there; and promptly steered in the direction of her cocked head which was NOT to the off path side.
@ Old Hipster - "Is there such a thing as cheapist?"
Schwinn Del Mar cruiser from Wal-Mart. No, really. Hell of a commuter/city bike - once you strip it down and repack everything. Worst case scenario you'll want to swap the back wheel for a Shimano/CR18 setup.

Is it just me or does today's podium remind anyone else of the maxim that you never see just one ant at a picnic?
Congrats Ant1!
Speaking of roadies and gravel not mixing: link
did the Eye Doctor explain the recovery exercises for observing that unholy creature off the left shoulder of the purple shirt? My vision would be blurry for days after witnessing this retched and vile scene...the agony in unbearable observing on a small screen!!!! too witness such a thing in real life and live to tell the tale is herculean
I wish I could say I was surprised that Hincapie crashed out of a race, but that's not really true.
I gotta whistle
but it wooden whistle
I gotta steel whistle
but it steel wooden whistle
so I gotta tin whistle
and now I tin whistle
BAMB OO!!
unless it us just a fanny pack and the color of slacks giving the impression of something hideous
I'm pretty sure that's Captain Underpants.
Yay Antoine! Pucker up, you're gonna be busy for a while.
Unfortunately all of you were so blinded by the fixed rider's bike to notice his $260 cut-off nudie jeans.
Let's get our priorities straight, people!
Didn't we learn in kindergarten not to cut in line? Or is it just best not to speak to a shoaler.
please give me one advantage a bamboo bike has over the standard materials? something real, not the environment, do you really think you are making any tangible impact on the enviroment by purchasing such a silly thing? seriously. if you have a bamboo bike but everything else on it is man made what's the point, other than advertising that you are a complete douchebag. bottom line, bamboo bikes are dum!
douche has a $300 helmet to go with the $4000 tarck bike. not sure there is anything worth protecting up there.
I made a bamboo headset, i've also made a bamboo self sense of sumgness, but it doesn't work as well as my bamboo headset.
If the rails to trails folk had left the old ballast behind, RTMS would have his wish in some places. My route to drop my kid off @ school crosses abandoned, but unimproved Union Pacific Railroad tracks and that gravel wants to eat my Kojaks. I take the wife's bike with hairy tires some days.
They can't officially leave it unimproved because, whoops, UPRR left some arsenic [PDF] & other nasties along with the gravel, so they're going to cap it or dig it up before finishing the trail.
Anon 5:57--
You want like one advantage? Dude, like that is so totally easy.
If like the frame should like fail or crack or something, you can like make a really, really awesome bong.
Can't do that with like aluminum, steel or carbon.
Only problem is like you will so go through a stack of energy gels while vegging out in front of the TV.
"Can't do that with like aluminum, steel or carbon."
Noob.
"venturing as far into the intersection as they dared in order to get the coveted Manhattan Bridge holeshot"
Freakin hilarious. I get so tired of the NYC shoaling stupidity. It's constant and predictible. I need a hint, Snob: do you ever say anything to these idiots? If so, what? I mean, people hate cyclists enough already. And the other day at 23rd and 1st, there were FOUR cyclists directly in the crosswalk at rush hour with dozens of pedestrians trying to navigate them. F'n dolts.
Katie 1:51
Sounds like it might have been termites.
I guess the bambu bike has to be kept away from water, sun, pandas, termites and herbicides.
GRAVEL!!
Seems as though the whole shoaling thing is pretty common on all bike paths including the ones here on the Cape. Especially during the summer me and my crew are always dodging and veering around random people with dogs or strollers taking up both lanes..a lot of them seem to have New York accents. I literally endo-d into a family of tourists who reprimanded me in portugese..not to mention the old-money flakes who wander around in a Zoloft cloud behind there over exuberant Yellow Labradors who love to greet bikes traveling at 20 plus...They are called bike paths for a reason! Cyclists aren't innocent either..especially those who like to pause for a moment in the lane..You don't stop your car in the street randomly right? I'm wicked pissed..

Like whoa man, are you like any relation to like kfc cause I could like totally slay some extra crispy if you could like, you know, get a discount or something.
so i got pulled over on 2nd ave today, by an officer citing a new york post article about cyclists terrorizing pedestrians. i was riding in traffic, instead of the bike lane, as i am prone to do since the bike lane is so often filled with the folks cited in this post along with cabs and parked vehicles. i genuinely feel safer riding in traffic than in the bike lane there.
thing is, while the cop said she pulled me over for running a red light - she told me that the bike laws stated that not only was i not allowed to elect to ride in traffic instead of the bike lane, i am not allowed to travel on any streets that do not have bike lanes. i asked her to clarify this, and she restated that it is illegal to ride on streets that do not have bike lanes. i haven't gone to the trouble of looking this up, but has anybody else heard this? anybody read this post article?
Incidentally in Bologna, Italy the drug dealers and bike dealers are one and the same alternating between fumo (smoke) and bici (bike) as they pass you in the street.
Leroy: ". . .are you like any relation to like kfc . . ."
No man, but if you take a few more hits you might be able to get into some batter fried gerbil. All out of extra-crispy at the moment, the TIG machine is down.
Did anyone else notice the horrendous creaking of the bamboo bike in the final exit scene? Those are some confidence inspiring noises.
Seeing the hemp fiber in the video made me wonder if you could harvest hipster mustaches to make your own bamboo bike; that would be super sustainable.
I wonder how the bamboo bike handles no handed? he didn't mention jigs or alignment concerns in his list of tools.
Alright- did anyone think that guy has an iphone holder but no iphone? The shadows look a little suspicious. Perhaps he is truly a minimalist and has only the iphone arm strap, iphone wiping cloth, but no iphone.
Sorry about the late post. but I have been otherwise engaged today.
The kid on the Anchor frame? I have known him for a while, and for what it is worth, he is a stand-up guy. He relocated from Vegas to NYC about a year ago.
He got the Anchor frame in a trade for $24 and some beads, but has not
labelled it "New Amsterdam." He certainly did not pay $4,000.00 for it.
He's a skilled photographer, and if you see him on the streets of Manhattan, tell him that the old Vegas CM crew says "Hi."

One advantage that bamboo has over other materials....
It is there... if you live in a 3rd world country and need to make a bike. The epoxy, on the other hand, you'll have to make out of straw and feces.
It would be interesting to see what the actual environmental difference is between all that epoxy which won't break down any time soon and an easily and cheaply recyclable steel frame. I mean, when you get done with the bamboo you have those joints sitting around forever. With steel it all goes back into the furnace.
Take into account the lifespan of the frame (few decades for steel vs ?? for bamboo?) and my intuition says steel is a "greener" choice.
Unless you live in an area with no readily available steel tubes but vast fields of bamboo and burritos for making epoxy.
What is up with close-up photos of male hands in cycling related blogs or magazines and unkempt, long ass, nasty fingernails??? Is the guys hand carassing the gravel planning on a scratch fight with a chick later on? Gross.
Here's the solution to many of the bike lane problems you describe:

to all of you who have toyed with the idea of track riding, do it, now. it's awesome.
ant1,
you are overposting, and a douche.
that is all.
". . .my intuition says steel is a "greener" choice."
It is also "renewable." Nickel carbon steel literally falls out of the sky by the ton, although recovery does present some problems for most of it.

Woah woah woah. Woah. The catlike "doucherati" helmet is a fine piece of kit and I would recommend it to anyone who gravitates to call themselves a cyclist.
Gravel roads will bring back the hardtail/rigid mountain bike as the all-purpose transportation cycle. Props to the dishwasher commuters who never jumped on the Urban Bike trend!
Wow, a lot of teen-angst going on in NYC, some funny, some shitty. You should all consider spending more time doing the things you love, and less time criticizing. As the douche-bag (self-reported) in the bamboo bike video I would like to say that I built the thing because I wanted to build a bike, and I can't weld. Can you? Hell what other bike can your build from scratch in your basement?
So instead of bashing it all willy-nilly, man-up and build your own.

in my opinion LA streets are the craziest, NY has no hills its always gridlocked with cars not going anywhere, SF is an awesome cycling city and bikes are much more accepted there than LA.
As far as the quotes in the trailers for to live and ride being crazier than those city's i thought was absolutely stupid, specially with a movie that did not portray that as such. All that movie did was show us that Keo had a good summer in LA.
I guess my expectations were bigger for this movie as i only enjoyed MR. QUICK's part and HERN's BMX part.
Anyways I hope someone in LA decides to make a movie that shows how LA people really ride.
