"Skaters!" the man with the bullhorn yelled. "Welcome to Wednesday Night Skate!" And then we were off, running red lights and zigzagging thru 15 miles of NYC traffic, including a stop near Mayor Mamdani's house. Take a ride with us nytimes.com/2026/11/10/nyreg…

So funny. My kid in college just made a little documentary about these skaters. I had never heard of them.

So, I’m 40, and I mention almost immediately that they’re breaking a ton of laws. The events are interesting, but we’re also examining how this group might play into larger safety/street redesign laws as it grows

great storytelling. WNS is rich for many angles, i like the one you chose. Also: good job on publishing after the season. Prevent attracting too massive of a crowd for the next week. 🙏
