Williamsburg365 Bike Lane Accident Video Goes Viral And Raises Again Community Concerns

By Idy Perl
Last night Williamsburg365 posted a video of yet another accident on the Bedford Avenue bike lane.
On Tuesday night a young boy getting off the bus was struck by a bicyclist on an electric bike and sent tumbling to the ground. A yungerman who was passing by stopped to help him and call for help, and the young boy was treated by Hatzolah after sustaining fractures from the incident.
The video has since gone viral online and has received a few hundred thousand views and hundreds of likes and comments have come pouring in to criticize the dangerous bike lane. Several news outlets shared the video as well and have helped spread the video even further.
Despite community leaders’ pleas, the city has yet to do anything to rectify the situation, and these unfortunate accidents will likely continue to happen until the bike lane is shut down.
