Woody Allen doesn’t want you biking near his house

Woody Allen is fed up with the explosion of bicycling in the Big Apple.

The filmmaker on Wednesday night attended an Upper East Side community board meeting at which members discussed a proposed crosstown bike lane on East 70th Street.

While he kept quiet during the session, he also wrote an e-mail to Community Board 8 criticizing bike lanes.

The “Manhattan” and “Bananas” creator complained “the situation has gotten off to an unregulated start and is out of control,” according to the e-mail, which was obtained by The Post.

“The great amount of cyclists do not obey any safety laws and ride freely at varying speeds on the sidewalks, through stop lights, the wrong way on wrong way streets, sometimes lethally.”

He insisted East 70th Street is too narrow for a bike lane and is already congested with school and hospital traffic.

“It is home to many elderly people who comprise most of the [residents], and a bike lane for these people is definitely an accident waiting at some point,” he explained.

Allen, 80, has lived on East 70th between Park and Lexington avenues since 2006.

The city’s Transportation Department has proposed three pairs of bike lanes stretching from Central Park to the East River Esplanade. They would run on 67th and 68th streets, 77th and 78th streets, and 84th and 85th streets.

Local residents railed against that plan, and the community board countered with lanes on 70th and 71st, 77th and 78th, and 84th and 85th streets.

Cycling in New York City shot up by 67 percent between 2010 and 2014 — while it grew by an an average of only 34 percent in bike-happy locales such as Portland, Ore., Seattle and San Francisco, according to a new study by the DOT.

The growth was strong even in car- and pedestrian-heavy areas such as Midtown, where 11 percent more bikes are whizzing around than in 2010.

The number of people who ride a bike several times a month jumped 50 percent between 2009 and 2014.
