We are a city of cyclists and walkers -- and a growing number of scooter riders. [Whatever happened to in-line skaters? They're dancing in the Park.] But our streets are controlled by cars, buses and trucks. Bikers must be vigilant -- constantly. It's Bike Month, and so it seemed appropriate to invite Erwin Figueroa of Transportation Alternatives to BCR to talk about the NYC cycling culture. Recently, pedestrian and biker accidents were up; nevertheless, there are indications that NYC authorities are considering the lowly biker as the city grows and Congestion Pricing becomes a reality.
This BCR episode was recored at Gebhard's Beer Culture Bar on W. 72nd Street. Drop by and tell the barkeep that you heard about Gebhard's on Bar Crawl Radio -- they may buy us a drink.
