Hi y'all! We will be holding off & not running this week's #BikeBus. While it has gotten better (both temperature- & street-wise), it's still a bit icy on the roadways of our routes. We hope to be back for the last week of February ✨
Wishing everyone safe travels & a great week ahead!

Hi y'all ❄️ happy first week of February! NYC's low temperatures are slowly improving, but some of the streets on our route are still a work-in-progress. Out of continued caution, the Bergen #BikeBus will not run tomorrow morning.
As always, till next time & safe travels to all!

Because of the snow, we rescheduled our big lobby day for the Stop Super Speeders bill to February 4. But a few members of Families for Safe Streets still took the train up to Albany today to talk to their legislators — we even ran into one in Moynihan Train Hall!

Intersections with poor visibility are dangerous for pedestrians and drivers. Too many New Yorkers have been killed—tragedies that could have been avoided. NYC needs universal daylighting now!

Hi y'all! The remnants of Sunday's snowstorm & low temps made for icy conditions on some parts of our route, so out of an abundance of caution, tomorrow's #BikeBus is cancelled.
This closes our fall 2025 season. We wish everyone very happy end-of-the-year holidays ♥️ see you in 2026!

The people who don’t want to bike, walk and take transit tell me it’s unsafe, it’s too far or it’s too slow, not that they love their car (mostly)
An astonishing percentage of Americans are open to car-free living.
The problem isn't attitudes. The problem is the failure to invest in viable options.

Salute to Toronto for this pivot:
Ontario premier Doug Ford banned Toronto from building new bike infrastructure that replaces car lanes.
Toronto's response: Narrow but retain existing car lanes, freeing enough space to keep installing bike lanes. (Better yet, narrower traffic lanes are safer.)

Have you called Speaker Adams yet today? Tell her why we need universal daylighting, and urge her to bring Intro 1138 to a vote: 212-482-6731
We have just three weeks left to pass universal daylighting — and the biggest thing standing in the way? Daylighting obstructors.
Universal daylighting is simple: clear intersections so drivers, pedestrians, and people on bikes can actually see each other. It saves lives.
