Big Apple Biking

Here in New York City, those wishing to ride bikes to save money, keep the air cleaner and promote physical well-being have been having a rough time. From arrests at critical mass events to hit and runs - biking in the big apple isn’t easy. A pal of mine actually got hit on her bike just the other day and had to go to the hospital.But the video below would suggest that New York is trying, as they’ve installed around 60 “bike boxes” - which are when painted stripes and signs create a zone where cyclists can cross in front of stopped traffic to turn without trucks and cars running them over.
