Daily trips over the new eight-foot two-way bike path on the roadbed of the bridge’s Manhattan-bound side soared 27.2 percent across all of 2021, according to data compiled by Bike New York.
Cycling activists were in a scramble to organize opposition to a Senate bill that surprisingly passed its first hurdle on Monday despite an intent to make it harder for the city to install bike racks and bike lanes.
