Asbury Park Complete Streets Coalition would like to see kids on bikes all over the city. Girls may need to be encouraged with a program like this in Newark!

For Some Girls, Empowerment Comes With Two Wheels and a Helmet

By Liz Leyden Aug. 19, 2018

Kala La Fortune Reed, left, taught Kaneisha Marable, 8, to ride a bicycle in Newark as part of a program run by Girls on Bikes, a nonprofit founded by Ms. La Fortune that seeks to increase the number of girls who ride bikes.

“What can happen is a self-perpetuating cycle: If the number of women is much lower than men, if you’re not seeing role models, if you’re not seeing someone who looks like you, cycling is not going to be appealing to you,” she said. “But these kinds of groups, where you have the role models and it’s social and it’s fun, that can change the culture.”

Please take 10 seconds to oppose this TERRIBLE BILL. And share! CLICK BELOW.Tell your state senator and assembly member to keep e-bikes affordable by voting No on S2292/A3359!New Jersey Bill S2292/A3359 would require registration and insurance for all low-speed e-bikes and e-scooters.While other states are rolling out subsidies to make e-bikes more affordable, New Jersey is poised to do the opposite, making e-bikes harder to access and more expensive for working families. San Francisco is offering jobs and e-bikes to delivery workers. Advocates are adamantly opposed to Senate President Nicolas Scutari’s bill, fearing it would undermine the goals of reducing car dependency and carbon emissions, and be an expensive and arduous impediment for those who rely on cheaper modes of transportation.It’s really just a distraction from the REAL issue, which is TOO MANY CARS, traffic crashes and fatalities in New Jersey. There is not enough reliable transit in the state, city by city, so this bill would effectively force people to rely MORE on driving, or be unable to access destinations at all.These are the most affordable electric vehicles on the market and an increasingly popular for seniors and alternative to driving a car or delivery van.A New Jersey Senate committee on Thursday passed what even supporters call a flawed bill that would require micro-mobility users to carry a type of liability insurance that doesn’t even exist yet.Onward.Polli Schildge, Editor ...

The most wonderful, most visited, economically stable cities in the world are walkable, people-centric, NOT car-centric. 👉🏻@cityofasburyparknj Make it more desirable to walk 🚶🏽and roll 🚲🛴, and less desirable to 👎🏻🚗 drive. 👉🏻Build a model city for people. NOT cars. 👉🏻Open streets on a regular basis, for special events, and *permanently* for walking, dining, shopping.#openstreets #asburyparkcompletestreetscoalition #CarsRuinCities #StreetsAreForPeople #toomanycars #WalkableCity #bikablecity #asburypark @amymquinn @eileenchapman7 @angelaahbez ...
