A town hall meeting to discuss safety concerns about reckless moped and e-bike riders in NYC

Last week we brought you the story of a Manhattan musician whose career was ended after she was hit by a man on a moped. This week we’re going to tell you about a new citizens group that’s pushing for legislation to grapple with the problem of reckless moped and e-bike riders.

WBGO’s Jon Kalish has the second part of his look into why many feel changes are needed to make the streets and sidewalks safer.
