Bike matching in NYC


Program Matches Bicycles To Essential Workers Who Need Them In New York 

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: If you're looking for ways that you can help out these days, there's plenty of need. Food pantries need non-perishable food. Hospitals need masks. And lots of people, it turns out, need wheels.

MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST: Yeah. That is the idea behind a new program from the New York City-based advocacy group Transportation Alternatives.

"SHAPIRO: Danny Harris says they've matched 42 people with bikes so far, and many more are in the works.
...
"SHAPIRO: And Salazar says with car traffic way down, biking in New York City these days is actually quite nice."
