Letter to Jennifer Rajkumar-candidate & author of Priscilla's Law

Ms. Rajkumar- We were introduced by Jan Lee of the ccrc when you were running your first race for elected office. The ccrc is one of the founding orgs of the Coalition Against Rogue Riding. I- formerly part of the Hi-Ho-Cyclery am the spokesman. You were quite dismissive. Barely acknowledging my presence. Now Transportation Alternatives has promoted its irrational program with no enforcement at its core. You have seen the light. Thank you for writing Priscilla's Law.Perhaps you or someone you know has been hit. Most everyone nearly so. I will vote for you and encourage others to do so. I encourage you to maintain your zeal and advocacy for the common good. Sincerely, Jack Brown Member of EVSA

Letter to NYS AssemblySpkr.Heastie in support of Priscilla's Law

Priscilla's Law A339A/S2559 Jack Brown To: Speaker@nyassembly.gov, Cc: me, and 1 other · Thu, Jun 12 at 3:28 PM Message Body Speaker Heastie: Greetings. My name is Jack Brown. Former bike shop owner, member of the Electric Vehicle Safety Alliance and Spokesman for the Coalition Against Rogue Riding. See blog carrnyc.blogspot.com Priscilla's Law is a pragmatic effort to address the rampant and reckless behavior of the e bike riders-and other micro transport on the streets and sidewalks of New York City. Commissioner Tisch has begun issuing C-criminal violations for the lawless and dangerous behavior for the lack of other effective laws to regulate the two wheeled traffic. Bringing Priscilla's Law to the floor this session would be a rational and sound and most appreciated gesture. The long suffering public deserves to enjoy the city as the great walking city it once was. The parks should be places of quality recreation and relaxation. The sidewalks should be places of reliable transport. Please as John Lennon once wrote "Give Peace a Chance." Aid and abet Commissioner Tisch. The NYPD has been seriously undermined for 25 years. Please give city citizens a chance. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Jack Brown Spokesman Coalition Against Rogue Riding Virus-free.www.avast.com

EV Grieve** Mosque on First Ave and 11th St. Delivery Bike Bedlam

For years the mosque has been a source of controversy.First cabbies taking car space to attend prayer. Now the delivery brigade is commandeering the streets and sidewalks. The mosque is closed for repairs. Still dozens of bikes are parked. Food truck perched across street. Numerous complaints. Some attention paid by 9th Pct. One source of alarm is the possibility of lithiun ion batteries exploding and causing a conflagration. Loss of life and property. The lack of policy and procedure in the service of a responsible bike culture from 2001-the first Bloomberg adminsitration has allowed the zealotry of Transportation Alternatives to metastasize in to a public safety hellfire. Read this and watch your collective asses.****https://evgrieve.com/2025/06/cleanup-planned-for-e-bike-hub-on-11th.html?m=1

Mayor Adams 15mph speed limit on e-bikes

The Mayor imposes 15 mph speed limit on e bikes. No good unless they are identified by license to be recorded by traffic cam.Trying to emulate European standards. The city council is stalling the passing of legislation into law. Adams also wants to institute a dept. akin to Taxi & Limosine Commission.****The critical flaw in copying Europe is that Transportation Alternatives thwarted enfocement by the NYPD. Enforcement is the backbone of a responsible bike culture. Mayor Bloomberg went along with the zealotry of TA and kept the NYPD on a short leash. Public mayhem ensured. NYPD undermined. This is abject disregard of [public safety. The delivery apps are similarly abject. The public could hinder the mayhem by walking to pick up take out.*******https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-to-cap-e-bike-and-scooter-speeds-at-15-mph-adams-says?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_camp
