Transportation experts and cycling advocates agree that allowing bicycles to park inside buildings is key to encouraging this zero-emissions form of transportation. Join New York City’s bicycling community for a discussion about the innovative designs and new legislation that could greatly increase indoor bike parking in New York. Winning indoor bike parking designs by Brian Ripel, principal at RSVP Architecture Studio, and Anthony Lau, Managing Director with Cyclehoop, will be presented followed by a panel discussion on the issues facing urban developers and bicyclists alike as the city strives to become more bike-friendly. Moderated by Rich Conroy, Bicycle Education Program Director at Bike New York, featuring Chris Fortune, president of Saris Cycling Group; Fredrick S. Harris, Senior Vice President for Development, Avalon Bay; Janette Sadik-Khan, commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation; and Paul Steely White, Executive Director of Transportation Alternatives. Co-sponsored by Bike New York and presented in conjunction with Growing and Greening New York: PlaNYC and the Future of the City. A reception sponsored by Hazon will follow the program.
