NYC Bike Sharing

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Less than one percent of New Yorkers commute by bike. Leonard talks to David Haskell, executive director of The Forum for Urban Design, about the results of a recent bike-sharing experiment in NYC, in which anyone could borrow a bike for 30 minutes and return at destinations in Washington Square or Tompkin's Square Parks.

Weigh in: Do you bike to work here in New York and the metropolitan area? If so, where are the most dangerous places or intersections for bicyclists?

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
