TransAlt 12+

TransAlt is the official app of #BikeNYC, created by the non-profit organization Transportation Alternatives to provide you with news about local protests and group bike rides, connect you to local activism for new bike lanes and safer streets, and deliver your daily bicycling forecast, written by New York City’s own Bike Snob, with the weather, road conditions, and more.
