New York has the potential to be a model for how cities around the country can employ bicycling to improve environmental conditions and quality of life for residents.

A student-led Cycle for Science trip will follow the footsteps of an ice sheet that buried the NYC area under a mile of ice during the last ice age.

An index created by a student would measure how well cities are encouraging bicycling through infrastructure, safety, and clean air.

As more and more people take to biking in the city, a new study will look at how much pollution bikers are exposed to, and what effects it might be having on their health.
