Rest In Peace Kevin. You were an amazing man, friend and human.
Thank you for all you did for your community, he worked with families during to covid virus ensuring families received proper burials for loved ones. Checked in daily on friends fighting viruses in their homes and made sure everyone had what they needed to get by including the local homeless by purchasing them meals from restaurants. Kevin never wanted credit for any of his actions and often stayed behind the scenes. He was a brilliant kind man and a real loss to society.

Sorry for your loss. Im a former rider. I sold my bike because NYC roads aren’t biker friendly, especially at night. May he rest in peace.

Kathy Hochul has proclaimed this year’s ‘bold agenda’ aims to make New York ‘safer,’ there hasn’t been so much as a whisper about the safety issue New Yorkers actually care about – New York States’s dangerous bail reform laws and the State’s absence of a ‘dangerousness standard,’ which would allow judges to detain without bail those defendants that pose a present a clear and present danger to our communities. (The 49 other states and the federal government have a dangerousness standard. NY State is the only state that lacks this essential protection from the State’s most dangerous offenders.)
