My NYC Biking Story: Howard Wolfson

If you follow the Twitter hashtag #bikenyc, you’ve probably noticed more than a few tweets from New York City Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson, a.k.a. @howiewolf. In this episode of My NYC Biking Story, we’d like to introduce you to the man who’s been tweeting out a flurry of facts, figures, and poll numbers related to NYC bike policy.

Wolfson is one of New York City’s new bike commuters. He bought a bike in May and started commuting on National Bike to Work Day later that month. Streetfilms had the opportunity to join him on his six-mile morning trip from the Upper West Side to City Hall.
