NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson on Twitter: "Glad to hear the city is creating temporary additional bike lanes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We need to get creative in figuring out how to make it easy for delivery workers and commuters to essential businesses to bike around the city during this crisis."

Fighting to do the most good for those who need it most. NYC should be a city for all of us. @NYCCouncil Speaker, District 3.

  Now let’s get the governor’s order of today closing “non-essential businesses” to exclude bike shops — they are essential! #keepthebikeshopsopen

  It’d be nice if they became permanent. We need to encourage more people to bike safely to work, it’s better for the environment

  How are we preparing to add more hospital and ICU beds that we will need desperately in less than 2 weeks? Any talk of reopening shuttered hospitals like The Parkway in Queens. We are running out of time. Bikers can figure a way to travel until we get this virus under control.
