Cyclists help doctors who are fighting virus
Experienced cyclists are doing their part to help medical workers by delivering 3D-printed parts to NYU Langone Hospital in Sunset Park and ferrying masks to doctors and nurses all over Brooklyn, according to Streetsblog. The cyclists in question are members of the New York City Adventure Cycling Club, a group that in normal times is usually focused on long-distance bike rides and camping trips. MakerSpace, a printing lab in MetroTech, has been printing face masks for doctors, and the biker volunteers have been “essential providing fast handoffs between the two areas,” Streetsblog reported.
