The two-wheelers are near a school and playground, but don\u2019t seem to bother many. Steven Hirsch<\/p>\nMigrant delivery workers have taken over an East Village block to park their e-bikes\u00a0 \u2013 with one guard keeping watch on the two-wheelers during overnight hours, locals told The Post.<\/p>\n
Most locals shrugged off the rows of e-bikes and e-scooters lining 11th street between First Avenue and Avenue A in Manhattan on a recent visit to the unsanctioned lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not great to look at, but I understand that they need to make a living,\u201d local David L. said on a recent morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt started with 4-5 bikes at any given time. Then overnight it became like 50,\u201d the two-year block resident said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was shocked. It was like somebody put out the word and everyone swarmed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last Wednesday, The Post observed roughly 50 bikes lined up between both sides of the street and adjacent sidewalk with various storage bags for food deliveries on the back.<\/p>\n
The bike storage was about 200 feet from the East Side Community School that serves grades 6-12. The Lower East Side Playground is also nearby.<\/p>\n
Mongolia native Andre said riders will usually park and leave their bikes overnight before coming back the next day for work.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone shows respect,\u201d he said when asked if he\u2019s afraid someone will steal his bike or other belongings.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work in the East Village, not like the Bronx,\u201d said Andre, who did not want to give his last name. \u201cSo I come here to work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another migrant, who asked not to be identified, said someone stays at night to make sure the bikes are safe.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone watches it for us during the night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The delivery workers will come and go, many leaving their bikes there. Steven Hirsch<\/p>\n
Most residents shrug off the makeshift parking site, saying it hasn\u2019t become a nuisance even if it\u2019s not the most eye-pleasing sight in the city..<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not any more of an eyesore to me than a car is,\u201d said area resident Margret.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s more worried about getting slammed into by a whizzing e-bike \u2013 a common complaint among many Big Apple residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so many of them, they go so fast and a lot of them don\u2019t pay attention to traffic signals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The scourge of out-of-control e-bike riders has led Mayor Eric Adams to push for a 15 mph speed limit<\/a> for e-bikes while reaching a budget deal with the City Council to crack down on reckless riding.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Migrant delivery workers have taken over an East Village block to park their e-bikes\u00a0 \u2013 with one guard…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":80493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5302,26307,46007,5249,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-80492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-bikes","10":"tag-east-village","11":"tag-food-delivery","12":"tag-manhattan","13":"tag-metro","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-nyc","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-us-news","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114891019378180434","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
