Pro Bono and Advocacy Work For NY Cyclists and Pedestrians
Daniel Flanzig Presenting at the Complete Streets Summit
Daniel Flanzig appearing in Suffolk County for Increased Penalties in NY for Hit and Run Drivers
At Flanzig and Flanzig our efforts are not limited to the representation of cyclists and pedestrians. Daniel serves on the Board of Directors of the New York Bicycling Coalition - New York's only statewide bike advocacy group. Daniel is also a legal advisor for the Coalition advising on legislative and safety issues to make New York a safer cycling State.
We are members and supporters of Transportation Alternatives, The League of American Bicyclists and People for Bikes. Daniel is the founder and Chairperson of the New York State Trial Lawyers - Bicycle Litigation Sub-Committee - with a focus on advocating for safer cyclists and pedestrian laws in Albany. Daniel has actively lobbied Albany for an amendment to N.Y.S.'s Safe Passing law and to help legalize and define e-bikes in NY.
We have handled several high profile Pro Bono Cases on behalf of New York cyclists in an effort to change the practice and policies of the NYPD in its policing of New York's cyclists. For instance, our office ended the practice of the NYPD of pursuing property damage claims against cyclists whose vehicles were involved in a crash. We further brought to light the manner in which the NYPD stops cyclists when attempting to write a summons.
- We have been a lead sponsor of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour as well as other rides and races in New York.
- We are regular speakers at NY area bike Clubs such as Huntington Bike Club, Suffolk Bicycle Riders Association and BikeNY.
- We were a featured lecturer at the TD Bike Tour New York Expo in 2014.
- Joined the New York Delegation at the 2015 National Bike Summit in Washington D.C.
- We volunteer hundreds of hours representing cyclists and pedestrians for free in helping them get their medical bills paid, file MVAIC claims, or assist them in compensation for damaged bikes and other property.
- Daniel Flanzig speaks out against proposed “reckless cycling” legislation in Suffolk.
