Rafe Herzfeld

Rafe Herzfeld is a 7th grade student at Luria Academy in Prospect Heights. He bikes everywhere: to school daily, to his pottery classes, to his friend’s houses, and to Prospect Park for his flag football games. He loves the new protected Bedford Ave. bike lane and thinks the city needs to move faster in setting up more protected bike lanes like it throughout Brooklyn.
