"If There Had Been a Protected Bike Lane on Central Park West, My Daughter Would Still Be Alive"

Statement of Amanda Berry in response to The View's Whoopi Goldberg telling Mayor de Blasio that bike lanes "screwed the city up." Berry's daughter, 23-year-old Madison Jane Lyden, was killed while biking on Central Park West last year.

"It's devastating to hear someone with such a big megaphone complaining about protected bike lanes. If there had been a protected bike lane on Central Park West, my daughter would still be alive today. I haven’t been to New York, but I understand that most residents don’t drive, and that many use bikes for daily transportation. These bike riders need to be protected, just as my daughter needed to be protected.”
