Cycling in New York City
When many people think of NYC, they envision a place full of honking car horns and unbearable traffic jams. Bike New York and Transportation Alternatives are working hard to change that image. In addition to sponsoring a whole host of events to promote cycling in the city and to encourage people to stop driving and hop on a bicycle instead, they are lobbying for safer cycling options, more bike paths, and more secure bike parking. Chief among their concerns is getting cars out of the city's parks so that pedestrians and cyclists -- for whom the parks are intended -- can enjoy them more safely. And to ensure that the next generation of bikers is ready to continue to carry the "bike in New York" banner, Bike New York is sponsoring a series of free bike lessons for kids.
