9th Avenue Express



Now that the innovative 9th Avenue cycle track (bike lane physically separated from traffic) has had some time to be broken in, let’s take a trip down it’s length and see some of its features, signage, and generally how it’s been holding up. The lane begins at West 23rd Street and terminates at West 16th Street, just blocks away from the delightful Meat Market Plaza.

Coming soon–Part 2: a trip from the Meat Market Plaza on West 14th Street to the Bowery via bike lane.

Great photos of the Bikeway–I especially like the traffic lights. It looks so inviting–I wish I were in NYC bike riding again. Have you or anybody tired it. does it feel safe? I used the short-lived 6th Ave. bikeway in the late 70’s–the one with a curb just outside the parking lane. No good–car doors opened into me.
Fabulous site overall–wonderful!
