Streetfilms® | Streetfilms Safe Bike Routes #1: Jackson Heights to Queensborough Bridge @StreetfilmsCommunity | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
This Spring I'm thinking of cataloguing some of the safest, long journeys you can take by bike in NYC using protected lanes, boulevards, open streets and more. I'll be asking people to submit theirs in the future.
So for the first I put on a GoPro (first time outdoors ever using one on my helmet) and showed people how nice and car-free my 4 mile journey is to the Queensborough Bridge. I put in most of the turns and sped up the footage for parts. It's just about always this clear, very rarely will you even have a bad encounter with a vehicle.
I and doing it for two reasons: one to show people who might be timid that there are indeed some very nice routes that exist that are relatively safe and the other: we need our elected officials, city and NYC DOT to have routes like this in EVERY neighborhood that piece together extremely safe bike excursions for work, exercise, fun and errands!
