I had plenty to say, which I did anyway to their general email address. Basically, I’m glad I did it this year but I had these issues - First, looks like they overbooked cyclists. Second, rest areas weren’t where they were supposed to be (Central Park). Third, we weren’t warned that a rest area would be closed around a certain time. Fourth, there were too many delays and walks (see my first comment). Also, some people rode on high standing thingys that moved when they pushed the handlebars back and forth. Those were annoying and dangerous! They took up too much room. Those should be banned! I was irked that the survey was closed just one day after I received a link to it.

I wonder how many more people per hour the BQE can carry when it's full of human-powered vehicles. Cool photo.

I am in the above photo. Me with my kids in the green Civic, smiling and waving while every other driver was getting all pissed off. Good for you all, it was your turn for the roads!
