NYPost Another Central Park victim in induce coma

There is a Go Fund Me account for the victim of the likely courier e-bike assailant. The delivery agent was restrained by witnesses to the vehicular assault. He apparently faces no charges. Mamdani s revocation of "low level" criminal offenses by cyclists means the perp is likley to get away with murder.*****https://nypost.com/2026/07/16/us-news/central-park-jogger-in-coma-after-e-bike-crash/

Central Park E-bike victim in coma-Didn't see him coming. Westside Rag

Electric Vehicle Safety Alliance is resolute that the Trumplike irrationality skewing public safety to zealotry has claimed another innocent victim. A woman in serene Central Park was struck by a reckless and indifferent rider she didn't see coming. Read it and weep.*************https://www.westsiderag.com/2026/07/15/woman-remains-in-coma-after-being-struck-by-e-bike-in-central-park-she-didnt-see-him-coming

Ian Alterman Tells it Like it is @ CB 7

Ian Alterman long time residnet of the UWS and four year member of CB #7 descibes from an informed first person account of how the arm twisting money flow from Transporetation Alternatives works through Streets Pac. We assume the Delivery Apps employ similar tactics.******** Well,well,well. Just posted on West Side Rag---ABOUT TRANS ALT. Of course many of us already know this-but here from a former CB7 BOARD MEMBER: Ian Alterman As a NYer for over 65 years, and a former CB7 member, let me tell you how it actually works. The bike lobby – represented by groups like Transportation Alternatives, New York Bicycling Coalition, Bike New York, Streetsblog and other bike advocacy groups (even if they also claim to be pedestrian advocacy groups) – donate large sums to political campaigns (mostly through StreetsPAC, since the individual groups are mostly NFPs, and thus cannot donate directly to campaigns). Politicians who get this money – from the Mayor on down – then appoint people (including members of CBs) who just HAPPEN to do their bidding and take the bikers side on issues like this. And sadly, Gale Brewer takes a great deal of money from StreetsPac and other bike PACs, so she has increasingly filled CB7 with bike-friendly appointees. It was one of the reasons I quit CB7 after four years – because I saw what was happening, and how pedestrians – who SHOULD come FIRST – were being “relegated” to “second class” behind bikers. (Using “experts” to provide (cherry-picked?) data that appears pedestrian-friendly.) That is the hard, ugly truth of “how things work.” And I know this from personal, first-hand experience. (As well as from checking websites that track the money coming into each politician’s campaign.) So anyone who tells you that the bike lobby either doesn’t exist or doesn’t have any particular “power,” especially via CBs , is simply lying through their teeth. @infopobn @AFineBlogger @nyc_evsa @Shebbie4nyc @nyc_evsa @Mike94663851870 @CycleSafe18 @nypost @govkathyhochul 5:33 PM · Jun 4, 2026 1.9K Views

David Siffert Wins recount for Assembly District 66

NYU Law Professor David Siffert has won the election to replace retiring Assemblymember Deborah Glick. Siffert is exceptionally well qualified as he has worked closely with the Assembly and knows the ins and outs well. He teaches a course on the Assembly at NYU Law. Siffert and his wife are parents to a two year old and have more than skin in the public safety game. Congratulations David.

Mayor Mamdani's Executive Order from March 2026

The Executive Order says that minor bike offenses will no longer be criminally charged. Thus reversing the efforts of NYPD Commissioner Tisch and what the Adams administration sought to do to address the lawless bike and micro transport environment. The Mayor proposes to let Transportation Alternatives over see the reformation of the sofflaws. Fancy that. TA pushed Vision Zero. Opposing enforcement by the NYPD. Undermining the NYPD and unleashing an envoronment of no accountability and daily danger. The congestion gave a platform for congestion tax. This promoted former Mayor Bloomberg's vision of NYC as a "Luxury destination." Meanwhile cycling is more and more a vehicle for the wealthy-as the unaffordablity crisis forces many to vacate the city.****https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/03/mayor-mamdani-announces-end-to-criminal-enforcement-for-minor-tr
