>>>>>You'd think that a city like New York, which is legendary...could do a little more...to provide safe bicycle parking facilities for commuters. It's a damn shame, I tell you... <<<<<
Most of the office buildings in Manhattan do not want to pay extra insurance which would run into the thousands for a handful of bike commuters. In my building with over 50 floors of office space, there are only TWO bike commuters. Myself and another man who commutes about once a week. That's all folks.
There is no way my building is going to put up with that expense for two lowly bike commuters.
