In relation to some of Frugal Fitness's recent postings on biking to work and the benefits of biking, a recent law passed in New York City called the Bicycle Access to Office Buildings Law requires commercial office buildings with a freight elevator to allow bicycle access into their buildings.
To gain bike access employers (building tenants) must file a request with the building owner. Individual employees cannot file requests. The employers must be able to store the bikes safely in their own office space. Office buildings that provide alternate bike parking may apply for an exception to the law.

How many people in NYC bike to work?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_in_New_York_City, 120,000 residents bike to work each day. However, this only makes up 0.4% of the New York City population. Though biking is on the rise with 28% more people biking to work in 2009.
