StreetFilms: LOOKing to Make Cycling Safer in NYC

Last week, the LOOK campaign, which aims to prevent collisions between motorists and
cyclists by educating the public about bicycle safety
, was launched in Union Square. In an unprecedented collaboration, the NYC Bicycle Coalition, the City Departments of Transportation, Health & Police, the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission, the Triple AAA, and the Office of the Public Advocate all endorsed the campaign.
