As cyclists throughout the citybegan signing up for the much-anticipated program this week,Councilman Van Bramer and Sena-tor Gianaris applauded the DOTfor planning to put bike sharingstations in Long Island City assoon as September. The lawmak-ers also took this opportunity tourge Citibike to include the othernotably bike-friendly neighbor-hoods of western Queens in futureplans for expansion.

“I am proud to have workedwith Department of TransportationCommissioner Janette Sadik-Khanto bring Bike Share to Long IslandCity in Phase 1,” said CM VanBramer. “This had not been part ofthe original plan but we were ableto change the map to include west-ern Queens. We are happy to an-nounce that Bike Share will be inLong Island City by September butof course we hope it’ll be sooner. Ijoin Senator Gianaris in calling forthe program to be expanded to moreneighborhoods in our westernQueens districts.”

“Our community has worked

for years to make western Queensmore bike friendly, and our effortshave been largely successful. I ampleased to see that Long IslandCity is included in future plans,and I hope that the program will bequickly expanded to more westernQueens neighborhoods,” saidSenator Gianaris.

Thanks to the work of commu-nity activists, the Department ofTransportation, and local electedofficials, western Queens has beenthe beneficiary of numerous bike-related improvements in recentyears. Improved bike access to theQueensboro bridge and develop-ments such as the Queens East Riverand North Shore Greenway havehelped provide an alternative methodof transportation to and from Man-hattan and Brooklyn and have madethe area a destination for leisurelybike rides along the East River.

“An active bike share presencewould be the perfect way to buildon recent developments that havehelped make this area one of themost bike-friendly in the city,”Senator Gianaris added. “I urge

the DOT and Citibike to set a firmdate for when all of western Queenswill enjoy the benefits of bike shar-ing stations.”

Recycle-A-Bicycle, a commu-nity non-profit with an educationcenter in Long Island City, echoedthe sentiment. “Recycle-A-Bicycleis eager to see bike share come toall neighborhoods in NYC. Ourmission is to continue trainingyouth bike mechanics in Long Is-land City for job placement as wellas teaching young people to ridebikes in a safe, fun, and healthymanner,” said Development Di-rector Helen Ho. “Giving all NewYorkers an inexpensive mass tran-sit option like bike share will begreat for local bike businesses,healthy lifestyles and getting toyour destination faster.”

Senator Gianaris and Coun-cilman Van Bramer are eager tocontinue working with the DOT,Citibike and community groupsto bring Citibike to Long IslandCity as soon as possible and even-tually to all neighborhoods inwestern Queens.

The bill was part of a package of leg-islation that also sets civil penalties forany business that violates standing com-mercial bicycle laws. This includes busi-nesses that fail to provide helmets andretro-reflective vests for their workers;that fail to provide proper bicycle andbicyclist identification and that fail to postsigns at the main business site explainingthe legal obligations of the bicyclists andbusinesses.

“I am excited that this new initiative isgoing into effect today,” said SwainWeiner, President of the Sunnyside Cham-ber of Commerce. “This law will protecttheir commercial bicyclists from the pos-sibility of future liability lawsuits. Thislaw will also help establish a safer envi-ronment for all members of the commu-nity. I wholeheartedly support it.”

“As President and on behalf of themany members of the United Forties CivicAssociation of Sunnyside, Woodside andLong Island City we fully support thepassing of Local Law 52,” said DonMcCallian, President of the United For-ties Civic Association. “Over time thislaw will save lives and help deter injuriesnot only to delivery bikers but also topedestrians, automobile drivers and theiroccupants. With the additional volume ofpeople ordering food and other items fromlocal stores throughout the night and day

this safety issue is extremely important forthe peace of mind of all people. I commendthe Council Member on his efforts to getthis piece of legislation passed and helpingmake our streets safer.”

The legislation also gives the Depart-ment of Transportation the power to en-force the commercial bicycling sections ofthe City’s Administrative Code, along withthe New York City Police Department(NYPD), which already has this power.Better enforcement of the commercial bi-cycle laws will mean safer streets for allNew Yorkers. It also requires the businessto indicate its name and the bicycleoperator’s individual identification numberas assigned pursuant to law in lettering andnumerals no less than one inch in height soas to be plainly readable at a distance of notless than ten feet.

The penalty would be set at $100. If thesame offense occurs again after 30 days ofthe original offense, the new penalty wouldbe set at $250.

CM Van Bramer’s office is currentlyworking with the Department of Transpor-tation to organize a Delivery Cycle Forumwithin the district to raise awareness aboutthe new law. These forums are interactiveworkshops where business owners can learnabout the law and how to keep their employ-ees safe and get free samples of equipmentrequired for commercial bicyclists.

Window ShoppingEach year over $1.25 billion in personal items and accessories are stolen from vehicles in about 1.85 million

thefts nationwide according to the most recent statistics. By employing some basic precautions we can attemptto minimize these “window shopping” thefts. Remember, it only takes seconds for a thief to take what theywant, so don’t give them the opportunity!

Lock your doors!While this piece of advice seems like common sense, up to a quarter of vehicle thefts nationally are from

unlocked cars, according to statistics available from law enforcement agencies. Even if you’re running intothe store for a quick cup of coffee on a cold winters day or a hot summer afternoon, that’s too long to leaveyour vehicle’s contents open for the taking. Simply locking the doors will deter those who might just be waitingaround for an easy target.

Keep it neat!Almost any seemingly worthless personal item that’s visible from the outside — even an empty shopping

bag — could be seen as a carrier of valuables. Don’t’ leave anything in plain sight, no matter what you thinkthe value to be. If you have a wagon or SUV that leaves your cargo area on display, consider getting a cover.Most of these vehicles can be fitted with inexpensive retractable covers to help keep shopping bags or otherbelongings out of sight.

If you leave it empty the thief will leave empty handed!

Take The Stress Out Of Spring CleaningThrow open those doors

and windows — there is nobetter cure for months ofwinter than some freshspring air.

But with spring, comesspring cleaning. And if thethought of pulling outmops, buckets and broomsbrings on more stress thanserenity, remember that afew tricks and some greattunes can make cleaningeasier and perhaps even fun.

Set the MoodThere are work

playlists, workout playlists— why not a cleaningplaylist? Put together someof your favorite, preferablyupbeat tunes to motivateyou while you’re workingand keep that music playing whenyou’re moving from room to room.

Give your nose some sensorymotivation too. Spray a fresh cleanscent to remind you of what’s tocome when the work is done.

SimplifyThe soups, stews and heavy

cooking of winter earn kitchenappliances everywhere a little ten-der loving care. While the task ofcleaning accumulated splatters andstuck-on food residue from ofheavy winter cooking can soundoverwhelming, there are cleansersthat can make the sprucing processa lot less labor-intensive.

You can clear the cutter of your

cabinet by opting for a cleanser thatworks on a variety of surfaces andappliances. For example, affreshKitchen & appliance cleaner andStainless steel cleaner can be usedon refrigerators, microwaves andcountertops, and won’t be too abra-sive on finishes. And unlike am-monia or bleach-based cleaners,you can simply spray and wipedown without rinsing.

Renew the RefrigeratorIt’s easier to clean the fridge

with less in it, so prior to starting,throw out what’s old, pull out whatstays and roll up your sleeves.

Clean door gaskets, racks anddrawers with warm water and mild

dish detergent. Don’t forgetto clean underneath the re-frigerator and the vent of theappliance. Proper air flowprovides better performanceand optimum efficiency.

Once it’s all sparklyclean, admire your handi-work. Then put your foodback inside before it spoils.

MaintainThe dishwasher cleans

dishes. What cleans thedishwasher? Don’t stress!Cleaning the dishwashermay be one of the easiesttasks on your checklist. Justrun a normal wash cycleand add an easy-to-use tab-let, such as affresh Dish-washer cleaner, to the bot-tom of the tub to help clean

and remove residue.Likewise, you can clean your

washing machine by running a nor-mal cycle with hot water and awasher cleaner tablet. A formu-lated tablet designed to penetrate,dissolve and help remove odor-causing residue from the inside ofthe machine will give your washerand your clothes a fresh scent.

Don’t forget to check washerand dryer drains and pipes forblockages — such as lint or theinfamous missing sock — to im-prove optimum water and air flow.Clean the dryer’s outside exhaustto help shorten drying time anddecrease energy use.
