Mayor Bloomberg Pushing New Yorkers to Bike
NEW YORK, NY [NY1] — Mayor Michael Bloomberg is making another effort to get New Yorkers to push the pedals.
City planners will unveil a proposal today that will require all newly-constructed apartment and office buildings to include indoor parking spots for bikes.
The plan would require all new residential buildings to provide at least one bike parking space for every two units.
Office buildings would be required to have one spot for every 7,500 square feet.
Retails stores, universities, and hospitals would also be required to accommodate bike storage.
The plan will undergo public review starting next week.

where exacitally will ppl bike?? on the street with new york drivers??? or on the side walk where people are walking?
if he had his way he’d probably start giving fines if you don’t brush your teeth…
no fan of bloomberg
Let’s all hope that Mike will peddle his way out of the Mayor’s office and give someone else a chance to run, as was the LAW forever before he came and changed it.
I mean let’s face it, if NYC is in such financial upheaval after 8 years of him in office, why would we want him to stay?
