"I saw people who never knew each other [before] meet at the event and develop strong relationships. A lot of people came just to watch and be part of that community. That's when I knew this was special."
"Car-Free Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet-and that our streets play a critical role in our fight against climate change," said NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn in an official statement.
I've always been in plus, extended sizes...like, Lane Bryant queen as a 14-year-old, business casual. Now I have a clothing sponsor. I get paid to ride my bike and be in photo shoots. My cellulite is out and my stomach is out. I'm just proudly standing there with my body on display.
The New York City Triathlon was one of the sport's most iconic races. Debuting in 2001, it quickly became a bucket-list event for age-groupers and pros alike: a swim in the Hudson River, a bike up the closed West Side Highway, and a run through Central Park. At its peak as part of the Life Time Fitness Series, the race attracted up to 4,000 participants - and top names like Olympians Greg Bennett and Emma Snowsill.

Criminal Court Judge John Walsh dismissed most of the roughly three-dozen summonses he heard on Monday, either due to insufficient details or errors in the NYPD-issued tickets or simply as a warning, also known as an "adjournment in contemplation of dismissal." Only a few cyclists were actually forced to pay a fine, albeit for pleading down their original criminal summonses to disorderly conduct, a violation.
There are over 60 miles of pedestrian-only paths in Central Park but just six where bikes, e-bikes, scooters, pedicabs and horse carriages have to share space: the Central Park Drive, which was the topic of an hours-long discussion at an Upper West Side community board meeting.
