Working to pass critical life-saving legislation in New York. We are thrilled that “Stop Super Speeders” is expected to be in the final NYS budget as an NYC pilot, and we will fight to make sure it is available to the rest of the state in the future. We are also excited that, with our help, five of New York's counties have local Defined Safe Passing/3' laws - with more counties on the way! NYBC continues to fight for a statewide Defined Safe Passing law to give New Yorkers the same protections that residents of 40 other states already have. Our work co-chairing the NYS Safe Streets Coalition helps make these successes possible. Bringing advocates to Albany isn’t cheap. Your donations make it possible!
Advocating for safe, pro-cyclist, common-sense e-bike regulations. E-mobility is at a turning point in New York. New Jersey recently adopted a controversial law requiring licenses, registration, and insurance for nearly all e-bikes. NYBC is working to ensure New York moves in a different direction - supporting low-speed, legal e-bikes as safe, affordable, accessible transportation and recreation, while making sure heavier, faster “e-motos” are kept off the streets.
Advocating in Washington with the League of American Bicyclists. Across the country, bike infrastructure is vulnerable to federal funding cuts, and NYBC is proud to lead the charge for NYS at the National Bike Summit each March. During this year’s summit, the federal administration threatened to remove the important 15th Street protected bike lane. New Yorkers sprang to action - attending the protests and supporting Washington Area Bicyclist Association and LAB in successfully fighting off that the immediate threat. NYBC keeps our finger on the pulse of state and federal shifts to ensure New York cyclists and pedestrians are protected and safe.
