But all those extra bike commuters were exposed to the success and failure of New York City's effort to be more bike-friendly. http://superpowers.tumblr.com Government Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:57:50 -0600 My biggest problem is that NYC buses don't have bike racks and MTA bans all but folding bikes on the bus. In Austin, where I moved from, all buses have bike racks. It seems like a cheap way to increase both bus ridership and bike commuting. PRI: Public Radio International
