A recent fatal crash on New York City's Queensboro Bridge has reignited important conversations about e-bikes, e-scooters, and micromobility safety. As states like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and cities like Philadelphia continue to update regulations, understanding how these devices are classified under the law can significantly impact liability, insurance coverage, and injury claims after a collision.

Learn how evolving micromobility laws could affect riders, pedestrians, and cyclists throughout the Northeast: https://www.piscitellolaw.com/blog/2026/may/recent-fatal-crash-highlights-the-evolving-legal/

Adding our voices to the community rocked by the loss of Ross Willard. What an amazing human being. How fortunate that we have Recycle Bicycle Harrisburg as a living legacy of his life's work.

Ross Willard, the founder of Recycle Bicycle, has sadly passed away. Friends and family members shared their tributes on social media: "Ross didn't just see old scrap metal; he saw freedom, fitness and a way forward for anyone with a flat tire and a dream."

For the past 22 years, cyclists throughout Greater Philadelphia have come together to ride silently in honor of riders killed or injured by motorists. Although bicyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the public often isn’t aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of cyclists themselves. The goal of this annual, international event is to not have another ride, but to have a year with zero bicyclist deaths.

On April 16, 2026, CASA Philadelphia celebrated their 20th anniversary of advocating for children and youth in foster care at Cescaphe in Philadelphia. CASA recognized Helmet Heroes as their 2026 Honoree. Helmet Heroes is a subgroup of PATHS for Barbara; an advocacy group formed in honor of Dr. Barbara Friedes.

Dr. Friedes was a beloved chief pediatric resident at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia who was tragically killed July 17, 2024, while riding her bike in a bike lane. PATHS is working to create meaningful changes to work towards zero pedestrian and cycling deaths and injuries in Philadelphia.

PA Safe Roads PAC Board Member, Jasmine Hoffman, and Marissa Perrone of Piscitello Law were thrilled to join this event and celebrate the work of Helmet Heroes, in honor of Dr. Friedes.
