Now we’ve seen everything.
Thursday night was our Streetsblog holiday party, so we're in no condition to deliver a long speech before the news. Except…
Our friend, Alfred Ng, sent us this photo of two horses in a bike lane, so we decided it was worth a crowd-source kind of tweet:
Our friend @alfredwkng sent this picture of horses in the Fourth Ave. bike lane in Sunset Park, prompting us to ask, "Hey #bikenyc, what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen in a bike lane (beyond cops, firefighters, DOT trucks and other obviously weird things in bike lanes). pic.twitter.com/KThzXYsk4M
We found out that pretty much everything ends up in the Fourth Avenue bike lane in Sunset Park. "What do you NOT find in 4th BK 🚲 lane?" asked Bike New York.
So there you go.
