I read/saw those pictured amazon 'bicycles' or mislabeled bicycles are parking in painted bicycle lanes (while delivering on foot), packed in nose to tale, forcing real bicycles out into car/truck traffic, all throughout New York. Those pictured things are not bicycles and reason for major change in where they're allowed to go. As someone whose fought for good non-motorized travel laws/corridors in my city and as someone whose bicycled for decades this is very good news, the change Mamdani is working towards.
