Democratic Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo has announced a plan focused on e-bike safety that critics argue is more about bureaucracy than effective regulation. He suggests requiring licensing for e-bikes and e-scooters, citing safety concerns despite the proposal lacking new measures. In a contradictory display, Cuomo described bike lanes as 'crazy' while calling for stricter safety regulations. His plan includes measures to change delivery app practices to reduce reckless biking. The response to Cuomo's initiative has been mixed, with experts questioning its potential impact on road safety, highlighting the need for comprehensive, meaningful regulation.
There's virtually no rules and no regulations regarding e-bike use in New York City and too many New Yorkers are getting hurt, and even killed.
Cuomo's proposal included supporting changes in the way delivery apps pay workers so that they are not incentivized to speed or bike recklessly.
Cuomo called bike lanes 'crazy' while discussing safety, raising questions about his commitment to proper infrastructure for cyclists.
The plan aims to create a bureaucracy that experts say will not even make roadways safer, despite Cuomo's insistence on the dangers posed by e-bikes.
