Why can't we have this in NYC?



Taipei, Yesterday at 11:00AM Near the National University

So.. I'm an avid cyclist in NYC, and part time commuter. From what I've seen here, the traffic in NYC is actually more bicycle friendly, yet.. here in Taipei the city is very pro-bike and a public rack like this one makes me long for NYC to change it's attitudes. The dominant mode of transport here on the streets are scooters with little two stroke motors pumping out tons of pollution, the city realizes that cycling is a clean and healthy alternative and is trying to promote it. Wish I could say the same about my hometown..
