\u201cBicycle Utopia lives at the intersection between bicycle culture and the unparalleled art and cultural experience that defines New York City,\u201d said Bicycle Utopia founder Jeanne Hilary. \u201c\u2018Am I Invisible?\u2019 is a way to encourage people to be more aware each other and cyclists, to promote awareness about how we share the streets, and how bicycle culture contributes to the culture of New York.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to promoting bicycle safety and awareness,\u201d added Jeanne Hilary, \u201c\u2018Am I Invisible?\u2019 aims to keep interest in bicycling alive during the winter, and to draw attention to Transportation Alternatives, who does such a great job improving transportation for all New Yorkers. We\u2019re thrilled to be able to support their mission.”<\/p>\n
