Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday that it is high time for the city to “find out” the need for a license plate on the bike – but many men and women running to replace him are not so sure.
“I think ideas like license plates definitely need to be considered,” Hizoner said in response to a journalist’s question.
“We’re moving into a new world where more and more people are riding bikes – and that’s great – but in some ways we have to capture that reality, so I think that’s the kind of idea that we have to explore now needed.”
De Blasio knocked on the doors of bike advocates who argue that licensing regulations would discourage potential cyclists, inadvertently making them less safe for those on the streets.
“I don’t just accept that ideology. I do not think it can be proved or even proved. “I oppose conservatives, and there are some conservatives around, ‘Oh we can’t even talk about things like license plates.” I think we should talk about it. “
But the term-mayor would likely not see any bicycle or cyclist license process flourishing – and those running to replace it were not keen on continuing the effort.
“We should build bike lanes, not bureaucracy,” candidate Andrew Andrew said in a statement. “Andrew as a cyclist does not fully support this,” a spokesman said.
A spokesman for former City Sanitation Commissioner Catherine Garcia declined to comment, referring to The Post to Garcia’s transport platform – which makes no mention of the issue.
Comptroller Scott Stringer said licensing rules would “suppress the use of the bike.”
Diane Morales agreed with her rivals.
“The witch doesn’t agree – we need to ride a bike to be safer and more accessible in New York City, not something that’s subject to policing, fines and discrimination,” said her press secretary, Lauren Liles.
The campaigns of Eric Adams, Maya Wiley and Ray McGuire did not immediately return requests for comment.
Meanwhile, Republican contender Curtis Sliwa also fielded the mayor to entertain the idea, which he called “the first step to speed up cameras for bicycles”.
They did not do this either in Beijing or Shanghai. Oh, how are you going to create a database of people’s bicycles? “Saliva asked incredulously.
He said, “The first step is that we license the bicycle. The second step is to put us in red light cameras so that we can get all the fines, fees and taxes, ”he said. “That’s all.” This is not a security issue. “
Salwa said that enforcement should be left to the police officers.
“Men and women who do bike delivery service used to stop all the time,” he said. “Let’s do police work.” This is called traffic enforcement. “
