Bike-Sharing in NYC
Story here. Now, if only we can get the NYPD to properly regulate the bike lanes. Presumably, bike shares are for people without bikes, or for people who ride bikes irregularly, and who wants to bike in the city when there’s no space to do so, or if the space allocated for them is taken up by parked cars, vans, and trucks—many of which are owned and operated by the NYPD itself? For all Janette Sadik-Khan’s good efforts, and there have been many, this is the one area she has yet to make headway on. Without regulating bike lanes, I’m afraid, this whole bike share exercise will be a bust. Or perhaps now that bike sharing is here, we’ll see an improvement? Here’s hoping.
