New York to ban speeding bicycles from midtown sidewalks
City proposes banning all bicycles from Park Madison and Fifth avenues within midtown from 31st to 59th streets to curb deadly crashes amid 10-year fatalities. Messengers oppose the plan arguing workers would face income loss and increased risk. Violators face a 45 dollar fine. Sixth Avenue and Broadway would stay open to bikes. The ban's fate rests with the state court of final appeal.
