It is a bus lane. Lots of buses going down 5th Avenue

(315 posts)2. I am curious why this is posted here?
For wider exposure shouldn't it be posted in Latest Breaking News?
I'm just curious.

(60,969 posts)3. For several reasons
1) It is not national news that a bicyclist got hit by a car. Okay, if Joe Biden were the bicyclist, then it would be national news.
2) The incident happened on January 30. That's too old for LBN.
3) I consider bicycles sort of public transportation, in that they are an alternative to a private automobile.
4) It is not my intent to garner wider exposure. I want narrow exposure, so I try to put my posts in the most appropriate forum.
HTH. Thanks for asking. Welcome to DU.
