Zohran come on Leg Day!
Cross-endorsed mayoral candidates Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani Citi Bike up Prospect Park West to a joint canvassing event. “It's a joyful form of politics, instead of a bitter, sour, backward looking form of politics,” Lander says about RCV.

The protected bike lane makes EVERYONE safer. Would the mayor prefer that people check the road for oncoming cyclists before crossing to the sidewalk, or be potentially flattened by a 2 ton car? Shameful and dangerous decision.

Together, we kept fighting for a truly safe McGuinness Boulevard. Together, we won. Today, the City announced it will remove a car lane in each direction on the southern portion of the street, slowing traffic & protecting everyone using it. Onward! ➡️ https://t.co/safcpUihtZ

Two weeks ago I hosted a wake for the vintage bike I crashed. We raffled off a bunch of amazing donated gear for city cyclist survival and ended up raising $910 for the Bike Plant repair fund, which I rounded up to $1,000 with money I had made from paid Substack subscriptions!!
