It's making life better for all New Yorkers.
So naturally, King Trump wants to kill it.

@straphanger It’s more likely because he would have to pay it
Brilliant!
And I so hope some of the funds are carved off for #Bicycle infrastructure - especially secure bicycle parking! (in the best cities, there are also changing rooms/showers to promote #CycleCommuting #bikecommuting.)
Ooo, ooo! and, since it will be going to #MassTransit, #BikesOnTrains! This is a big issue in many places. In Amsterdam it appears everyone has two bicycles - one in the city, the other at their local train station, requiring twice as much parking.
