Crowds of cyclists demonstrated in New York's Washington Square Park yesterday (July 9).

The legion of bikers from across the city gathered for a five-minute long “mass die-in” to raise awareness for safer roads.

Bikers cried, sharing grief over lost friends, and directed their anger at City Hall, at one point chanting “do your job” to Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Hundreds of cyclists covered every inch of the main entrance to Washington Square ‪Tuesday evening‬, lying under the iconic arch and around the park fountain in protest of the spike in biking deaths this year.

Bikers from across the five boroughs gathered for a five-minute “mass die-in” to rally for the city to do more to address what they described as a street safety crisis. After more than four years of Vision Zero, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s cornerstone traffic safety program to eliminate traffic deaths appears to be faltering.

Bikers cried, sharing grief over lost friends, and directed their anger at City Hall, at one point chanting “do your job” to the mayor.

One activist from Extinction Rebellion laid on the front of the Taxi Cab halting traffic.
