Queens Boulevard Bike Lanes.


                "Take the bike to the plane."


Constructed.  Seen above and below (58th Street - Roosevelt Avenue, North and South sides Q. Blvd.)


Be sure to note in the following brief video (01:11) of the easterly downhill run of the skateboarder in the bike lane:

How to paint a bike lane.  (Check out accompanying video as well.)
