The zoning change passed, but that only affects new buildings. There's a separate bill that hasn't passed (or failed) yet, which would require bike access to all buildings, not just new ones.

I have the DOB information PDF on it, I think. Bike parking will soon be required in all new construction.

I would have deleted the comment if I could. I didn't want this to be a negative conversation. My point was the Bike to Work Day is a great idea. It's just not for me. I'll continue taking the subway to work and biking for exercise and fun (not commuting.) I agree with you Liam. I would have deleted the comment if I could.

Having your bike where you work is still a luxury and will be for a while. Learn to lock your bike like a normal New Yorker and you won't have a problem.

If you want to ride your bike buy a 200 dollar bike and an 60 dollar lock. You won't have any problems. Alternately, you can just wait for a bill that may never be passed. Whatever.

Alternately, you can just wait for a bill that may never be passed.

With proper locks, bike theft shouldn't really be a concern in most places in the city, provided you don't leave your bike overnight. Daniel : Where would you be locking up?

It was entirely too negative. I think the idea of Bike to Work Day is awesome because I truly appreciate our livable city, but I'm one of those people who never leaves his/her bike outside. I really enjoy biking, and I have had enough bikes stolen (2 while living in Atlanta) to sour me to the prospect of locking my bike outside. When the Bikes in Buildings bill is made into law, I will be the first person to start commuting by bike every day. I apologize for adding my last comment to this thread.

Until I can celebrate that, I won't be biking to work. Was this following the We Passed Bikes in Buildings Day? Until I can celebrate that, I won't be biking to work.

I felt really good afterwards, though I am a bit tired since my body is not used to it). I must say, having the busy work schedule that I have, it feels really nice to finally have a <a href="http://www.scrubsmag.com/?utm_source=e&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=bc" rel="nofollow">healthier lifestyle</a> added to my daily routine.
