NYC Bike Count Continues Upward Trend in 2010 With 13 Percent Growth

Here is an interesting article on streetblog.org about how the number of cyclist in the center of NYC is rapidly increasing in the last years. To me the recent years look like an exponential growth and it is probably due to the increase of infrastructure in certain parts of the city which makes bike use so much more easy and save. Lets hope we get some bike lanes here in Ditmas Park very soon. Several bike lanes from and to Prospect Park and to the Ocean would be great.

City Will Crack Down on Scofflaw Cyclists

There is an interesting article in the New York times today about the City wanting Crack Down on Scofflaw Cyclists. What comes to my mind about this is that with enough bike friendly infrastructure in place most of the bicyclist won't have a reason anymore to flout the law because they would feel save on the streets and infractuture would not slow them down rather then allow them to travel at a comfortable speed.
