For bikers in NYC, the bridges often contain real hazards in inclement weather: rain, snow, ice, and salt. Transportation Alternatives now has a two-wheeled equivalent of radio traffic bulletins – the nycbridgereport Twitter feed available at http://twitter.com/nycbridgereport.

Transportation Alternatives is also looking for regular riders to contribute to this feed. For more information, send an e-mail to bike@transalt.org.
