AMNY Solve the e-bike prob?Stop Selling Fast Ones

Council Member Chrystal Hudson has come up with the miracle cure for e-bike mayhem. Don't sell fast ones. Limit the speed to 20 miles per. Gee Crystal-why didn't someone else think of that? Is it because you're the head of the geriatric committee? Or is it that technology isn't really the answer? First-I sat behind a judge at an EVSA event. He said that Transportation Alternatives can walk into any Council Member office -give them $10,000 and get any bill passed it wants-Note the pronoun.Euphemistically call that undue influence. Second and most importatntly limiting speed doesn't mean that the rider will obey the law. A responsible bike culture and rational "visionaries" would have worked long and hard to establish a law abiding riding public. Not reckless indifference to public safety zealotry.Both creating an environment of ongoing jeopardy and screwing the NYPD. Try again Chrystal.****************https://www.amny.com/opinion/solve-e-bike-problem-stop-selling-fast-ones/

AM NY Queens E-bike slams opening Mercedes door.

An e-biker in Queens slammed into the opened door of a Mercedes. The biker was thrown to the pavement. Fatally struck. Traumatic head injuries. No mention of whether the biker was wearing a helmet. Let's face it-the reckless disregard of the city administrations starting with oligarch Michael Bloomberg to establish a responsible bike-micro transport culture has had numerous fatal repercussions. Countless injuries and too many close calls to count. Transportation Alternatives has wielded undue influence. Thwarting enforcement by the NYPD. Enforcement being the backbone of a public safety friendly bike culture. Simultaneously undermining the NYPD. How's that for hubris Advocates of zealotry rejoice.Mark Gorton-a fullthroated and deep pocketed backer of Robert Kennedy Jr. for President is a principle funder of TA. Charles Komanoff a notable narcissist and self promoter is the sophist in chief. A plethora of armtwisting and fake news by TA has compromised the elected public officials. The public has been taken for a ride. The quality of life bludgeoned. It can be rectified-but 25 years late. ***************https://www.amny.com/nyc-transit/queens-e-bike-collisions-citywide-09072025/
