The latest streets and transportation news from Streetsblog

E-bikes have become a serious issue in New York. Not so much the technology, but the ongoing debate (and confusion) over what is safe and what is legal on New York’s roads. Our reporting found that no one is 100% sure what the solution is to dangerous riders and riding conditions, but there is a consensus that the status quo cannot remain. Check out some hot shit reporting from Streetsblog’s Austin C. Jefferson and Sophia Lebowitz on the topic and catch up on the past week’s news cycle while you’re at it (It’s election season and people still want free buses). As always, come to Streetsblog Empire State for the latest and greatest in New York transportation.
