So what's the problem?

“Be a little bit reasonable and understand that sometimes some people can’t live your puritanical, cultish indulgence of either always walking or biking,” she said, arguing Furnas’ plans will hurt seniors and people with reduced mobility.

but that is 100% true. biking for a senior with 60+ years old can be life threatening. If they fall (and they do because they have a reduced sense of balance), they go to hospital, and laying in bed for 2 weeks leads to severe muscle dystrophy which often can hardly be restored.

I know plenty of people who bike at 60+. If you’ve biked for years it’s no more dangerous than it is for anyone else.

Good, Mamdani and Furnas should only be allowed to use public transportation for work purposes, otherwise they'd be hypocrites right? 🤔

Trump hires anti-vaxer for US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mamdani hires car-hating activist for NYC transportation team. What's next, some Priest as head of NASA?

The New York Post is concerned that traffic in NYC is going to get bad? Do they even live in NYC, or do they just live in their office, and never leave? How do they get to work? Surely they've noticed the traffic?

Those big metal moving boxes that honk constantly? That isn't the local wildlife, those are vehicles, and they are already everywhere. It would literally be IMPOSSIBLE to make it worse.

The Post? They probably all live on Staten.
