We are excited about NYC’s new law that mandates commercial landlords allow bicycles into office buildings (the only caveat is that the building must have a freight elevator).
As a business with a very active clientele, we have many patients (and employees) that want to ride their bikes to our clinic. It has been a bit of an embarrassment (and lost revenue) when the doormen of our building would not allow patients to bring their bikes up (and we have had to cancel appointments as patients would not dream of locking their race bikes up on a NYC street).
Now onto the more interesting battle – the hand-to-hand combat with a NYC landlord. Now that the City has put the law into effect, how long will it take to get landlords to comply with the new law? I just sent the first email to our landlord, politely asking if the building is ready to comply with the law. I will update as to how this progresses as I expect there to be strong resistance.
