Hi pals, I wanted to share the Op-Ed of mine that's running in StreetsblogNYC today: How the ‘Budget-Bike Trap’ Creates Inequality in NYC [1]. It's an important story that applies to the work all of us do, yet it's an overlooked and misunderstood part of our bike equity crisis.
- Please give it a read (it's short, op-ed length) and let me know
what you think. I'm confident it's going to resonate with what you've experienced in your work.
- Please share over your networks: here's a Twitter thread [2] you
can retweet, and a Facebook post [3] to repost. (IG to come later @bikecoopnyc [4])
- This StreetsblogNYC piece is an intro to this issue, and I have a
more detailed ~2000-word article ready to go that examines it more closely (it also includes perspectives from bike shop owners and budget bike buyers). If you have a connection to a good place for publishing this piece, please get in touch.
- If you've got an in with an organization that's working on a
discussion series or panel about bike equity, I'd love to bring this perspective to it—keep me in mind.
Enjoy the springing spring, everyone.
Josh
