BP Adams leads ceremonial ride across Brooklyn Bridge in anticipation of L-Train shutdown
Citi Bike’s new pedal-assist bikes may just be the solution to the 15-month L-train shutdown that is slated for next April.
To celebrate the new bikes, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Citi Bike representatives and City Hall staffers rode the new bikes over the Brooklyn Bridge. Mayor Bill De Blasio had previously announced that pedal-assist bikes, which provide an electric boost that make it easier to climb hills and travel longer distance, would play an important role in providing alternative transportation during the East River tunnel shutdown.
