And Finally ...

Should we have more, or fewer, bike lanes? Jeenah Moon for The New York Times

Yesterday we told you about the new protected crosstown bike lanes that will be
installed in Midtown this year.

We asked our readers for their opinions on bike lanes, which were installed after an
increase in fatalities last year. Here’s what a few had to say.

“I strongly believe that we already have too many bike lanes. I have never seen more
than two bikes in a bike lane. Frequently they are empty. I find many bicycles
running red lights, on sidewalks and going in the wrong direction. In addition, I feel
like the bike lanes are ageist. Bicycles are used exclusively by younger people, not
seniors and definitely not the disabled.”

— Helene Polonsky, 65, Murray Hill

“People tend to complain about cyclist behavior, but it’s important to point out that
nearly all of the cyclists who were killed in 2017 were obeying the law when they
died. A crosstown bike lane might have saved Dan Hanegby, who was killed by a bus
driver who allegedly passed him too closely. I’m thankful that the Department of
Transportation is finally solving the problem of safe crosstown travel for New
Yorkers on bikes.”

— Doug Gordon, 44, Park Slope, Brooklyn

“I live on the street with the proposed protected bike lanes. Although I’m an avid Citi
Biker and pro-safety, I know that the extra width on my block is super critical to
allow fire trucks to pass traffic when they get called out. I’m not looking forward to
the blasting horns I will now hear because there is no ‘passing lane.’”

— Allison Robin, 35, Murray Hill

“If people are really complaining about the loss of a few parking spaces, one might
ask why that is an efficient use of public space. About 25 percent of Manhattan
households own cars. Why does the city provide public space, free of charge, for
storage of private property that is, for most people, a discretionary expenditure?”

— Jeremy M. Posner, 42, Upper East Side

Metropolitan Diary

Hair Tip on the No. 7

By SUZAAN BOETTGER

Dear Diary:

I was on the No. 7 train as it hurtled along, standing and looking down at the top of
the head of a younger woman sitting in front of me. I realized she had the exact
champagne highlights against a natural base that I had been trying to get for years.

Should I interrupt the conversation she was involved in? I didn’t want to miss this
opportunity to find the colorist who might be “the one.”

I leaned in and tapped her on the shoulder. She took out her phone and used my red
pen to write the name and number of her stylist on the back of a manuscript that I
was marking, and her name as well.

Two weeks later I entered a one-seat operation in the back of a shop in Long Island
City. Two hours later I walked out with the hair color of my dreams — and at a
reasonable price.

When perfection crosses your path, get the number.
