At this time of year it's always good to have a contingency plan, such as being able to fold up and hit the rails when the weather gets ugly:

That's what I did after my radio show yesterday, which you can listen to here:
It’s a great show and worth listening to if you missed it live. Thanks to @bikesnobnyc for hosting our editor @GershKuntzman https://t.co/sHaR1WTIix

If you've had a vexing encounter with a city fleet driver, any inattention or hostility on their part is not for want of a good training video:
As #nycstreets change so do our trainings. We expect our drivers to set the standard for safely sharing our streets. Watch this new training video for the City’s large fleet drivers covering local laws, dooring prevention, turning slowly & more #VisionZero https://t.co/S4Et1RX9KO

It's heavy on the bike content, and it even promotes the Dutch Reach:

In all, the video focuses on what's truly important--unlike this Post article taking Citi Bike to task simply for posting photos of people riding bikes:
Citi Bike Instagram features riders sans helmets amid call to mandate them https://t.co/FAIkso3ghB pic.twitter.com/0V98eVkrg9

The bike-share service’s Instagram account is packed with shots of smiling cyclists — sans helmets — riding as though they were out on a countryside jaunt rather than dodging potholes and taxi drivers on the mean streets of the city.
And this is bad why?
The five boroughs have tallied more than two dozen cyclist deaths so far in 2019, including that of a Citi Bike rider, who was struck in April — the second fatality of a Citi Biker since the service launched in 2013.
The rider they refer to here is Victor Ang, killed by the driver of a UPS freight hauler who partially severed his leg.
It's hard to imagine a helmet affecting that outcome. It's similarly hard to imagine that a helmet would have saved Dan Hanegby, who was crushed while riding a Citi Bike by the driver of a coach bus, or the Citi Bike riders who were killed by the terrorist who drove a truck onto the West Side Greenway.
Yes, it's highly doubtful helmets would have saved any of these victims, though it is entirely possible helmets could kill the ebike bill:
Why hasn’t Cuomo approved the e-bikes bill? https://t.co/ZPGJy5qIC1 pic.twitter.com/65kKkG9CoY

The bill’s supporters expected Cuomo to submit some chapter amendments to the bill, and that kind of tinkering has yet to come. “For a good while, it was our understanding that the governor's office would have chapter amendments to propose and we haven't heard back about that,” Ramos told City & State, adding that two concerns she’d heard include speed limits and the fact that the bill doesn’t require the use of helmets while riding.
There's some irony for you.
