For my radio pitch I would love to focus on the bike riders of New York City. Last year the city had seen one of the highest bicyclist mortalities rates since 2000 with 29 people being struck and killed while biking. There is now a bill called the Crash Victims Bill of Rights that would ensure traffic violence victims would receive financial help with medical bills on injuries sustained in the accident, funds allocated for burial services, and counseling for family members who lose their loved ones in such accidents. I would like to get the perspective of bike riders and street safety advocates about this particular bill in and what else can be done to improve their safety in the street.
