   Great news out of the Big Apple:

   • Cubicles around the city may be getting a little rounder now that the City Council has approved a bill requiring commercial building owners and managers to provide access for bicycles.

     The law passed on Wednesday with a vote of 46 to 1, with Councilman Erik Martin Dilan of Brooklyn voting no. It takes effect in 120 days and requires buildings with freight elevators to allow employees to bring their bikes upstairs. “It shall be assumed that if a freight elevator is available for carrying freight, it is available for carrying bicycles,” the law reads.

     
     DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan speaks at a press event yesterday. That's bill sponsor David Yassky in the green tie.

   Although, just because you can bring them upstairs doesn't mean there will be a place to store it.

   In terms of the office building I work in, the parking garage bicycle parking is good for me. In fact I wouldn't really want to bring my bike upstairs.

   However, if I lived in apartment/condo I would demand to be able to bring my bike up.

   I think if I wasn't permitted to bring my bike in to my office it would give me another excuse for not riding in to work.
