Transportation
Biking in New York in 1897 Was a Dangerous Pursuit
A dreary chronicle of a month's worth of accidents.
No one looks at New York City's streets and thinks "Look at the peace and harmony!"
Nope. Even with the undeniable progress that's been made creating safer spaces for bicycles and pedestrians, traffic remain aggressive and unpredictable. Users of all modes break the rules with abandon. Navigating the resulting mess is not for the fainthearted.
