Unsafe at any speed NYDN Jan 4, 2020
Manhattan:
Transportation Alternatives operates on the premise that the more
cyclists, the safer the streets. They also disparage mandatory use of
helmets because it would depress ridership. They also ran from joining a
task force that would have addressed the irresponsible bike culture
creating a public safety menace in 2010. If a responsible bike culture
had been implemented with consistent effective enforcement, many of the
deaths might have been avoided. Sidewalks and streets would be far safer
than they are. The NYPD has been undermined. Emergency vehicles have
been compromised. More riders means more deaths. Without a responsible
bike culture, there is no safety.
