    I've just recently learned to ride and I find the streets to be UNFRIENDLY. Around Williamsburg in Brooklyn it's okay but anywhere else??? So many times I've been beeped at, cut at, and taken advantage of when it comes to cross streets. My light is green and I am going straight and this guy decides to take a left straight towards me! There are people who beep so loud that it startles me to lose control of my bike and even one instance when a big hunk of a pay loader decided to squeeze into me on a BIKE LANE in Greenpoint! Those black taxis is another matter! They pull out without signalling, does not care about red lights or even worry about pedestrians and bikers! Government vehicles are WORSE!!!!! Parking on the bike lane, speeding and not respecting traffic lights even if they are not on emergency! I'm sorry but I don't think NY is friendly enough or educated enough about road ethics
