Wall Street is signaling the end of the COVID-19 bike boom – and sending yet another signal that our very economy is structured to favor driving above all else.
The driver of a cement truck struck and killed a Bushwick pedestrian early on Monday, near an industrialized area that city officials have previously blamed for last year's uptick of cyclist deaths.
It costs less to insure an SUV, despite its role in the pedestrian death crisis. And drunk drivers barely pay more for insurance (why can they even get insurance again?).
