Brooklyn Ave. is the cross street.
Waves wash over a roller coaster from a Seaside Heights, N.J. amusement park that fell in the Atlantic Ocean during superstorm Sandy on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012. New Jersey got the brunt of the massive storm, which made landfall in the state and killed six people. More than 2 million customers were without power as of Wednesday afternoon, down from a peak of 2.7 million. ( ... More Caption »

You're definitely not from the area. No one is riding a bike from Kings Plaza to Manhattan (if that's where Mez works). It would take hours considering the traffic situation. Once he hits the Flatbush Avenue Ext., given he's riding by bike, its over given the ordeal at Barclay's.

Yeah I might just head to Queens to spend the night, this is the LAST place I would be able to get gas anyways
I'll prob have a better chance to find gas out there anyways.

is there not a bike lane? when i went to NYC there were bike lanes all over the place. i have rode my bike at least 18-20 miles within an hour an a half. but i guess it's different with the colder weather and probably more congestion.

I tried to make it to Bellevue again to help with the evacuation. Never had a shot with public transportation. Plus I only have a 1/4 tank and there is NOOOOOO gas anywhere.
theres acouple philly gas stations that are out due to power outage, is that also the case in NY ? or did a majority of them get damaged

Is the problem a lack of gas or is the problem no power to pump the gas? One of the directors was talking about a gas station in jersey that had a generator that he was using to pump gas (generator being powered with his stations gas)

^ Both. Here on staten island, power was out everywhere. So steadily since tuesday morning gas stations have been getting power back but once word gets out a place has gas, there comes the 2 hour waits etc etc until they run out. It's hard for the functioning gas stations to get more gas delivered because of the traffic all throughout jersey and NYC.

both i guess. stations are running dry because people emptied out the tanks. its not as if the reserves/depots in jersey are empty (can't see why they would be) but powerloss could prevent re supply trucks from getting filled and sent out. plus damage to roads/driving restrictions...makes for a difficult situation.

You can call the station ahead but i think almost all gas stations have long lines
