It should take 10 minutes to call 4 Council Members. It will make ALL the difference! "Please sign Priscilla's Law ( Intro 0802-2026) requiring registration and visible plates for all electric assist vehicles. This will save lives, lessen injuries and improve the quality of life of all New Yorkers.” Some facts for you to share - if you like.... The facts are that the majority of your constituents want accountability for the e-vehicle riders who leave the scene of a crash with an injured victim lying on the ground, as they do the majority of the time, and for riders who ride egregiously with no consequence. With registered and visible plates on all e- vehicles, traffic cameras, which do not discriminate, will capture dangerous rider behavior (speeding, running lights..) and send the rider a traffic ticket. ONLY accountability changes behavior. It has been FIVE YEARS of zero accountability for e-vehicle riders who maim and kill New Yorkers. Enough is enough! How many more pedestrians, cyclists, e-bikers and dogs must be maimed or killed before this commonsense bill is passed? Listen to the MAJORITY and not the wealthy, special- interest bike lobby (Transportation Alternatives); a group that wants no rider accountability, because they receive huge donations from Lyft/Citibike and delivery app companies, and therefore are against any safety regulation that might dissuade bike riding-- including requiring HELMETS for adults. The bike lobby puts their profits over human lives. They value money over safety. Listen to US, the majority! NYPD ( and therefore DOT stats) are entirely inaccurate. Police rarely report crashes. Often, the EMT arrives on the crash scene before police arrive and take the injured victim to ER. Victims don't know to report or care to report after their hospital release, when their focus is on healing. The victims who do try to report after their release are often told "it's too late." Even when police ARE on the crash scene, they often don't report because "rider fled-so there is no point." All car crashes are reported, as they should be. The NYPD reports less than 50 e-vehicle crashes with injuries for 2024! Unbelievable! Bellevue Hospital Emergency Room "admitted 220 micromobility injuries in 2023 through Aug 2024 alone, stated Bellevue ER Doctor Angela Pfaff, who sees and average of one admission per day". And, Bellevue is only ONE of fifty-four ER Hospitals in NYC! Thank you! 💜Janet Janet Schroeder NYC-EVSA, Co-Founder & Director www.nycevsa.org Virus-free.www.avast.com

NJ backlash against e-bike management

https://whyy.org/articles/new-jersey-e-bike-law-discrimination/*** Naturally there is grousing about new laws designed to create a safer and more responsible bike and micro transport environment. Seniors, Delivery agents, Complain about expense and time and trouble. Hey folks if the zealots and commercial vampires hadn't created an environment of jeopardy**Move fast and break things** and focussed on creating a lawabiding street and sidewalk culture-everyone would have been better served. Europe showed the way. America-Transportation Alternatives and Placemaking ignored the civility and public safety aspects and blasted and armtwisted ahead. Karma is a bitch. But its the followers who get burned

Endorsement of Cong. Dan Goldman

I attended a meet and greet for Congressman Dan Goldman on Sunday at the residence of Sean Sweeney. Head of The Soho Alliance and a long time ally in CARR toward the establishment of a responsible bike/micro transport culture. Dan Goldman has been a point person in the effort to bring accountabiity to the current president who is seemingly decompensating before the eyes of America and the world.Dan lead the first impeachment of the moral midget. He has a background as a prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. Pursuing facts and truth without fear or favor. Graduate of Yale and Stanford Law. He has conducted himself with vigor in as many areas as he has time and energy.An honorable pragmatist. In brief for the purposes of this blog-the OPPONENT in the primary is backed by Transportation Alternatives. Nemesis of a responsible bike culture and destroyer of quality of life and public safety. The OPPONENT is a career politician who lost in his bid to become mayor and is seeking another another pull on the public teat. Running against Dan Goldman is akin to supporting Donald Trump. Dan Goldman is not only a vigorous advocate for the district but an invaluable resource for the nation. Keeping Dan on the job is vital to retaking the majority in congress. Please support DAN GOLDMAN. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

Bloomberg-What's killing the e-bike Biz?

Extensive piece about the e-bike Biz.From Bloomberg Enterprises. Keep in mind that it is the tiny titan of Bloomberg who was primarily responsible for jet starting the irresponsible bike/micro transport culture by withholding enforcement by the NYPD. Nicely removing the backbone of a responsible bike culture. Undermining the NYPD and generating an environment of on going jeopardy and needless deaths, injuries and constant public safety dread. Well done Mike. ****https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-14/what-s-killing-off-all-the-e-bike-companies?utm_campaign=bn&utm_medium=dis

NYT on line Thurs July 25,2019: J Brown

The New York Times Your comment has been approved! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community. Jack Brown | New York City No effort to establish a responsible bike culture. The NYPD limited in its ability to enforce the law. Bike build out done as fast as possible. Bike infrastructure set the table for world class congestion. Congestion-not environmentally or human friendly-begat a congestion tax. Congestion cost NYC $35 billion$ in lost business in 2017. NYC missing from top 20 global biking cities. Deaths. Serious injuries. Untold # harrowing close calls for pedestrians. What's wrong with this picture? New York is better than this.

City & State Lillian Bonsignore Mamdani Appointment-FDNY Commish.

https://www.cityandstateny.com/personality/2025/12/mamdani-appoints-lillian-bonsignore-lead-fdny/410370/****** Lillian Bonsignore-Bronx native-longtime EMT has been appointed as new FDNY head. The problems she faces are pay inequities with other first responders for EMT and RESPONSE TIMES. Now here's a conundrum. Ben Furnas- the head of CAR HATING Transportation Alternatives has been appointed to Mamdani's transition team. Should he succeed the career and job seeking pol Ydanis Rodrieguez The Apple could be faced with a faster build out of Vision Zero. Vision Zero is substantially responsible for the slower EMS response times. Bike lanes. Bike racks. Vastly increased ridership especially with the problematic E-Bikes and micro transport brigades. FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Outgoing Eric Adams liked to ride a bike-or so photo ops conveyed. Look at the coterie of appointments and resignations that resulted. Mamdani and outgoing Comptroller Lander like to ride bikes. Let's see how indicated zealotry stacks up against corruption. Will pragmatism win the day? JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has offered to "Help" the incoming administraton. He says some of his Democratic friends are "idiots." My veteran of the bike industry take is that zealotry will lock horns with pragmatism. Let's hope female transition team exercises compassion and pragmatism. Randy Mastro who brought experience and professionalism to Deputy Mayor's office refuses to work in a Democratic Socialist administration. He and Jessica Tisch semi rescued competence under the tarnished Adams administration. The city has voted for a youthful experiment. Stay alert. Stay alive. Let's hope a pragmatic approach is taken to public safety.
