  • EMPIRE BIKE LANE

    How is a BIKE LANE on Empire Blvd. “supposed” to “Calm accidents”?!!!
    More bikes on EMPIRE = more people Injured or even…

  • Ummmm

    To empire bike lane:

    What are you talking about? This victim wasn’t on a bike lane, if the bike lane was built maybe this wouldn’t of happened.

    Most drivers don’t drive on the bike lanes, at least where I live.

    Out of curiosity was he wearing a helmet? That may have saved him head injuries. Everyone on a bike must wear a helmet it can save your life.
    How can it be a hit & run if the driver stuck around & called 911.

    BS”D
    The victim lives in my building and
    he’s alert, walking and sociializing.
    His face is all bruised up but his
    attitude is good.
    The bicycle was wrecked.

  • HELMETS!

    Wow!
    Who in the world would care about the bicycle?
    Just to let everyone know that a helmet that is good would be about $50..
    The cost for brain surgery cannot even be compared.

    EVERYONE WEAR HELMETS!!!!!
