Mayor De Blasio mulls helmets for C bikes& licenses for all bikes-M Kramer CBS

New York has world class congestion. Bike bedlam. Is #100 ( LAST) of the top 100 cities in USA
for motorists to drive in. As of Sept 5,2019 20 cyclists have died-and finally the man who would be president is MULLING requiring helmets for C bike riders-many of whom are inexperienced tourists
beguiled by a ride on the wild side. Come spend your discretionary dollars-play a two wheeled version of the old Coney Island game "shoot the freak"---and YOU'RE THE FREAK.***
Also New York City was found to miss the top 20 cycling cities in the world.

                     TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??

Perhaps its a "VISIONARY FANTASY" turned into a "NIGHTMARE". Perhaps its a result
of consciously avoiding establishing a responsible bike culture from or before the beginning
of the bike push. Perhaps its a refusal on the part of BIKE VISIONARY ADVOCATES to
cooperate with NYPD or FDNY or EMS services. Perhaps its a result of Visionary arm twisters
exerting undue influence on 2 mayors to SUPPRESS ENFORCEMENT by the NYPD on rogue riding. PERHAPS its the emphasis on alleged ridership reduction base on the use of helmets.



As someone who has been saved from serious head injury by the use of a helmet my opinion is that
anyone who ceases riding a bike because of mandatory helmet use doesn't have a brain within their
cranium worth saving. My opinion is that the bike advocates who operate in the e commerce have
constructed a remorseless house of cards by using the "move fast and break things ethos". The politicians who have leapt on the bandwagon to appear to buy into the illusion of "going green"
and acquire votes and campaign contributions have done a disservice to the city. Other cities
clearly have a more realistic and enlightened approach. CLEARLY.
