Yes, they've finally put up some decent bike lanes in some places but even on the ones that are shielded from the street partially, like 9th Ave, you still have pedestrians, motorcycles, mopeds and obstructions to deal with.
I find in this situation that the pedestrians are the worst. They'll literally dive out right in front of you looking the WRONG WAY on a one-way street or not looking at all without a care. They're even worse that a cars in situations like that...
I can definitely navigate NYC. Been doing it all my life but doesn't mean it's safe or fun. I want to bike around Toronto. Thank you for letting me know about some of what I'd be in for... It'll be just like NYC but cleaner.
