We propose that both local and state governments of New York build more protected and separated bicycle paths in the city in order to keep both cyclists and motorists safer.
Why is this important?
Bicycling is considered to be a major mode of transportation by many in New York City. Yet, the local government has failed to keep cyclists safe and continues to equate bikes with motor vehicles. We believe it is the best interest not only of cyclists but of drivers and the city itself to advocate for more protected bicycle lanes as well as stricter laws regarding bicycle-related accidents.
