Responsible bikers For the ones not so experienced, we need to paint a green bike path for a visual cue. Also, the bike lanes should start at each @CitiBikeNYC station leading to the main lane-Follow the Green Brick Road. pic.twitter.com/kLjfLNUl54

The signs are not easily visible. There is no map at the @CitiBikeNYC stations showing where and how to bike on our island. We need dedicated bike lanes with large markings on the street.
It is easy, just look how it is done elsewhere in bike-friendly cities.
