When I moved to Newark I planned on riding my bike to work. However with the lack of infrastructure I was almost hit at least once a week. I take a scooter now because I can ride it on the sidewalk

When I lived in Philly, I biked everywhere. In Newark, biking means putting your life in some crazy driver's hands and trying to ride over un-maintained streets. Seriously, I blew out like 3 tires in the first few months living here when I had never had to replace a tire anywhere else I lived. It's a shame.

I like to bike for fun and the only time I was comfortable doing it was April 2020
