For over 20 years, Time's Up! Environmental Group has been working on environmental awareness and increasing non-polluting transportation. We are happy to report that both are on a continuous rise in New York City thanks to your support. Our wide range of different types of group rides have helped attract thousands of new bicyclists which has encouraged others to ride and become every day commuters. This increase in ridership has also put pressure on the city to increase infrastructure- which we are now seeing.
