bad #drivers and their #infrastructure yesterday:
1. #honky for no reason on the 3-lane stretch of #BarburBlvd

4. uber/lyft waiting(?) in the same bike lane
5. ~10 drivers on 33rd that badly needed to line up 2x2 at a red light on the next block (Broadway) couldn't stop for a second while I wait to cross 🙄
6. jerk doing 45 on ~36th, a narrow side street
