Better infrastructure means more families can ride. Here's how to push for it.
Riding a cargo bike in NYC is great. Riding it on safe, protected infrastructure is better. Every request, every comment, every signature adds up — and NYC DOT is more responsive to organized community input than most people realize.
NYC DOT is building a network of 500 secure bike parking structures across the city. Tell them where you need one — near your school, your subway stop, your block.
