Every day, cyclists in Queens have to navigate the obstacle course that our bike lanes have become due to dangerous potholes. It's not just a minor inconvenience—it's a serious threat to our safety. Riding down 83rd Avenue at Queens Boulevard, just outside the courthouses, I've encountered these hazards firsthand. It’s become a nightmare to ride without swerving onto the road, putting us directly in harm's way. Our safety should not be compromised by poor road conditions.

Our community is calling on Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani to take action and fix these potholes. We've seen the videos circulating online, capturing the daily struggles and dangers cyclists face. These bike lanes are meant to be safe spaces for commuting. Instead, we're forced off the path, risking accidents and injuries. We need immediate repairs to ensure safer routes for everyone who relies on these lanes.

Cycling is a vital form of transportation for many in Queens. It's not just about convenience; it's about our right to commute safely in our city. The neglect of our bike lanes sends a clear message that cyclist safety isn't a priority. We won't stand for this any longer. We demand immediate attention and a commitment to repair these potholes before more cyclists are hurt.

Join us in making our streets safer. Sign this petition to urge city officials to prioritize the repair of these dangerous potholes in Queens. Our safety shouldn't be put on hold.
