Bike News Roundup: New York mayor calls for end to traffic violence

It’s time for a well-overdue Bike News Roundup. It’s a long one, so let’s get to it.

First up, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made a strong speech about traffic violence in his city, thanking families of people who died in traffic for making a stand against further traffic injuries and death. Citing “Vision Zero” successes in other cities around the world, he outlined a plan for how the city will eliminate deaths on New York streets:

  1. Q

    Is that Mcginn photo supposed to indicate he’s giving up his bike, or his car?

    1. Tom Fucoloro

      I believe that is the city’s car provided to whoever is the mayor.

      1. Q

        Huh. Alright. It’s weird they would do that.

    As much as I hate Clay B. for taking our Sonics away, Oklahoma City seems to have it’s act together. I wonder if they have the same “war on cars” nonsense in their local press.

    The League of American Wheelmen link points to a dead survey.

  4. Evan Manvel

    It hasn’t been the Wheelmen since 1994. It’s the League of American Bicyclists.
