Here's an ironic twist for the mayoral candidate who all but ignored bicycling and walking in his transportation platform: Bill Thompson has rented mobile advertisements-by-bike, with yellow-vested, red-helmeted riders pedaling around Borough Park with Yiddish-language advertisements for his campaign.
Despite Thompson's anemic transportation policy, it's a step up from the last time around. In 2009, he made an anti-BRT campaign stop in Bed-Stuy and promised to remove a bike lane on Grand Street in Manhattan; now, he promises "a true BRT system," but remains noncommittal on bike lanes.
Don't forget: Polls close at 9 p.m. Before heading out to vote, check your voter registration status and polling location.
