Friday Video: A New Urbanist Heard From

Joel Katuala is "pissed off" about the criminal crackdown on cyclists.
Friday Video: A New Urbanist Heard From
Meet YouTuber Joel Katuala.

We’re so happy to present the Streetsblog debut of Joel Katuala, who has been a prolific pro-bike YouTuber for about a month now.

His latest contribution? A short video lambasting Mayor Adams — and, by extension, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch (who will stay in office) — for the criminal crackdown that began on cyclists that began this spring.

Here, Katuala, who describes himself as a “fairly optimistic person,” makes the pessimistic case against the Adams administration’s crackdown.

“What really pisses me off is that actual safety issues like double-parked cars and cars parked in the bike lane … are simply ignored,” he said, citing Streetsblog’s coverage of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s ongoing seizure of the 10th Avenue bike lane.

Welcome to the war on cars, Joel.
