If not the lack of a responsible bike culture can be attributed to the refusal of Transportation Alternatives to participate in a cooperative group to establish the rules of a responsible bike culture and an effort to suppress enforcement by the NYPD of the scofflaw cycling. All this to allegedly
increase bike ridership. Well here's one young soul down. Diminishing ridership by one permanently.
If you are skeptical about what I wrote-then answer how did New York arrive at an epidemic of rogue bike riding? What brought about the irresponsible bike culture? What set the table for world class
congestion? What caused 35 billion dollars in lost business in 2017 in NYC? What brought about
the congestion tax? Could it have been due to an exercise in zealotry? Pandering politicians?
It's Not Easy Being Green. New York is Better Than This.
Cyclist Killed in Staten Island — Becomes 16th Victim This Year
A tow truck driver ran over and killed a teen cyclist on Tuesday
afternoon in Staten Island — making him the 16th cyclist to die in an
already bloody year.
According to the NYPD, the 38-year-old tow truck was heading south on Clove Road and the 17-year-old cyclist on a mountain bike was traveling westbound on Castleton Avenue in the West Brighton section of the Rock at around 12:03 p.m. when the two collided. The NYPD did not have any additional details about the crash, except that the driver remained on the scene.
The teen was taken to Richmond University Hospital, where he died.
The victim is the 16th cyclist to die in 2019 — making an already deadly year even worse. Last year, 10 cyclists were killed.
This story will be updated as more information comes in.
