lol is this a troll account??

Why would the train run into a wall?

Are there plans to increase speeds? Will the new train cars allows for faster speeds? What about for between JSQ and Harrison?

Are you me? I used to average well over 100 miles in JC and NYC, then I switched to mostly weekend riding in LSP, and some waterfront riding, but gave that up because it does get old fast, and once you get on River Road it is simply too dangerous to deal with those drivers. Not sure what it is, but the drivers all over Hudson County are positively insanely aggressive. I switched to Peloton in 2014, kept at it for 5+ years and about to start up again since I miss riding but don't feel like dealing with all the stress. I still ride along the waterfront from time to time, but even that feels stressful at times as people walk around meandering all over the place with their faces buried in their phones, while others walk their dogs in retractable leashes without keeping them close by, so I am constantly having to avoid collisions. Just too much nonsense in general. So frustrating, really.

downtown is a lot of new development, the heights and west side are more low key neighborhoods. greenville is far from transit and elevated crime.

Count me as part of that demographic! I got hit head on by an old geezer who decided he didn't want to wait his turn to turn onto a cross street, so he went around the guy that was correctly waiting at the intersection and he ran into me head on. My wheel got bent and I got thrown off, though nothing super serious. I have had a driver throw things at me while yelling "get on the sidewalk!" and another deranged maniac get within inches of my back wheel while riding on Grand St because he didn't like being behind a bicycle.

Thank you for sharing! I just signed up!

I mean they could speed it up, as long as everyone is okay with running into a fucking wall under the Hudson River once in a while.

I love living in the heights. Very safe, communal, relaxed feel. I never feel weird about walking alone (24f), even at night. Lots of great food up here too as well as public parks.

No. I don't understand the references. But the fact that you're responding to my comment with insults about what kind of person I am is an example, in my mind, about why you're not appealing.

Some Amy DeGise opponents on r/JerseyCity post interesting information about her driving record and housing arrangements. I enjoy reading that kind of post.

Other people post a stream of meme posts and other attempts at humor implying that she's the worst person on Earth. If people post a few of those, fine. Certainly, other Redditors have a right to post things like that; not every post on Reddit has to be one I like.

But, after a certain point, the stream of hostile, not-very-funny attempts at humor get old. The question becomes less about why Amy DeGise is still in office and more about the motives of the people obsessed with her.

Again: You have a right be obsessively hostile toward Amy DeGise, as long as you're obeying subreddit rules, Reddit rules and antistalking laws.

But exercising that right too often could backfire and make Amy DeGise start to look like a victim.

That hoboken stop is fucked up, they need to cut it out. I was once on a normal jsq to 33rd and inbetween newport they stopped rerouted to hoboken, when they train pulled into hoboken there were like 12 people on the platform, so they inconvience a whole community for 12 people.

All I want fof Christmas is direct PATH service from Jersey City to 33rd St. on evenings, weekends, holidays, etc.

people are very hard on the bike infrastructure here (myself included) but there is a decent amount of it, provided you are willing to ride the street to get to it. there is now a PBL between my neighborhood (the heights) and downtown, which has been very welcome and useful, but i have to do a fair amount of street riding before and after it. i dont mind it, but yes you have to be hyper aware as there are some really absent-minded drivers around.

i use jersey cycles in the heights and have enjoyed my experience with them a handful of times for simple jobs/repairs.

yes they do! it's around $24 for a full loaf i'm pretty sure (at least that's what i remember them saying the last time i asked)

Biked a ton in jc, years and years and years of it. Only been almost killed a handful of times, so statistically, yes.

Right, because every man on the city council has also run someone over in their suv and then driven away, only to report it 6 hours later for some mysterious reason. We’re just choosing to give Amy shit about her hit and run because she’s a woman.

Interestingly I don't see any updates in the online case system.

People have a problem with Amy because she’s a woman.

What a compliment! I feel like I've aged 40. Everyone is sooooo mean to me.

I’ve seen a few cyclists get hit by cars while riding… usually just a “tap” but enough to knock them over and probably cause some damage to their bikes. Drivers have no regard for others downtown it seems, always in a rush.

Historic Harsimus Cemetery does wake n rake Saturday mornings (tidying the grounds) not sure if it's running during the colder months.

Realistically must voters are clueless as to who endorsed who. They will just see the names down ballot and vote. That’s the power of the line. Same with menendez last time instant endorsements and ready to roll. Hudson is a one party county and the primaries are pre selected, so voting isn’t as effective as it should be.

I've seen bikes removed from street signs [by the city] so I wouldn't suggest it, but I also overall don't suggest locking things to street signs are they are often "removable" at the base...

regarding safety other users all shared commentary similar to how i feel. on the one hand a lot of delivery people are on e-bikes on the streets every day and reported bike fatalities are not astronomical. on the other hand my experiences with drivers here has been terrible so I could never openly say it's a reasonable method of transportation for the general population

Bike network is okay downtown, with a few connections elsewhere. Generally the biggest problem is connections though. You'll end up street riding inevitably. This can vary from extremely safe to extremely dangerous depending on which road you need to do it on.

Grove St Bikes is a great shop in town. Pretty well stocked and knowledgeable. They do good work, decently fast, and definitely take care of their customers. If you're looking for a new bike they only sell Giant so don't be afraid to shop around.
