Cristian Vazquez is the seventh person on a bike to be killed by dooring this year in New York City. He was riding an electric Citi Bike, capped at 15 mph. Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Adams' e-bike speed limit didn't save his life. A protected bike lane might have. Where was he supposed to ride?

“The Bedford Avenue bike lane generated a 65% increase in cycling traffic along this corridor in less than a year — far exceeding typical year-over-year growth.” medium.com/@patrickdavisc…

For taxpayers, bike infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, maintenance, safety, pollution and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

Still on for today but pushed back to noon to let the roads dry. Group ride departs for drop off site at Kissena Velodrome from the "Queens the World's Borough" sign at MacDonald Park, meet there by 1 pm after collecting your food donations.
