">NYC Launches E-Bike Trade-In Program to Boost Safety

- 10 months ago
Safer Streets, Safer Riders
In a groundbreaking move, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced final rules for the city’s first-ever municipal trade-in program for unsafe e-bikes and electric-powered mobility devices. The initiative is aimed at food delivery workers, offering them the chance to exchange uncertified e-bikes and lithium-ion batteries for high-quality, certified versions — for free. This program is part of the city’s “Charge Safe, Ride Safe” campaign, designed to reduce the risk of deadly e-bike fires and improve street safety.

Seeking a new home after content restrictions at historic theater
After eight years of championing gender equity in theater, SheNYC Arts—the premier organization producing work by women, trans, and nonbinary writers—is unexpectedly being forced to find a new venue. The historic Connelly Theater, where SheNYC Arts has produced its shows, has imposed content restrictions that bar performances on reproductive rights, trans issues, and gender equity, sparking concerns about censorship in one of the world’s most culturally progressive cities.
