He approached and was able to talk the man into walking with him to Rich City Rides’ affiliated bike shop, which opened as a cooperative just a few months ago. With the promise of helping him get a new bike through the shop, Silva convinced the man to leave his beloved fixie behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was whole again,” Silva said. “Getting my bike back kind of gave me my sense of personality back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva gives a lot of the credit for being reunited with his bike to Smith and the Rich City Rides community in Richmond and on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m one of the lucky stories,” Silva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich City Rides plans various community rides throughout the year.

Getting a new bike just isn’t the same.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich City Rides runs a handful of programs to promote biking and bicycle culture in Richmond, but its newest program started spontaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A community member told Rich City Rides that their bike had been stolen. The organization posted a picture on its Facebook page, and a few people in the community saw the bike around town. They approached the person riding the bike, let them know it was stolen, and were able to recover it and return it to its owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva, a third-generation Richmond resident, has become a community ambassador for Rich City Rides since being reunited with his bike. This past summer, Silva had ridden his prized personalized fixed-gear bike to the library one day. He had lost the key to his good bike lock and was using a cheap lock, so he sat near a window to keep an eye on it and “check up on my baby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wasn’t watching closely enough. He glanced up, and it was gone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reporting the theft, Silva went to Smith and asked for help. Smith posted on social media and spread the word that they were looking for that bike, and Silva heard from people in his neighborhood that they had seen the bike around town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after losing his “baby,” Silva spotted a guy riding it. He approached and was able to talk the man into walking with him to Rich City Rides’ affiliated bike shop, which opened as a cooperative just a few months ago. With the promise of helping him get a new bike through the shop, Silva convinced the man to leave his beloved fixie behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was whole again,” Silva said. “Getting my bike back kind of gave me my sense of personality back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silva gives a lot of the credit for being reunited with his bike to Smith and the Rich City Rides community in Richmond and on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m one of the lucky stories,” Silva said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich City Rides plans various community rides throughout the year. The next planned event is the 3rd Annual Winter Night Lights Solstice Ride, “a celebration of cycling, lights and music on the longest night of the year” which will begin at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that everybody should be able to experience the benefits of cycling,” Smith said. “There’s a bike for everybody.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Schneiderman wrote that the proposed rules, as written, would unfairly limit competition. “From a competitive standpoint, these advances may lower the costs of entry for new for-hire vehicle services and encourage existing services to compete more effectively for both drivers and passengers.” The proposed ruling — which would prevent a base from dispatching a driver that was affiliated with another base (unless there was a formal agreement between the two bases) — would effectively limit Lyft’s supply of drivers to the 10 that are affiliated with the company’s base in New York. The one way around this is if other bases agree to allow their drivers to also drive for Lyft.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Philadelphia\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.philly.com/philly/business/transportation/20141114_PUC_approves_Uber_for_state__not_Philadelphia.html\">PUC approves UberX for state, not Philadelphia\u003c/a> (Philadelphia Inquirer)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>UberX, the controversial ride-sharing service, won approval Thursday to operate in most of Pennsylvania, but not in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission, which regulates taxi and limousine service in every county except Philadelphia, overruled its staff in a split decision, deciding that UberX can operate statewide for two years, if it meets requirements for auto insurance, driver background checks, and financial reporting. However, the order does not apply to Philadelphia, where the Philadelphia Parking Authority regulates taxi service.

Schneiderman wrote that the proposed rules, as written, would unfairly limit competition. “From a competitive standpoint, these advances may lower the costs of entry for new for-hire vehicle services and encourage existing services to compete more effectively for both drivers and passengers.” The proposed ruling — which would prevent a base from dispatching a driver that was affiliated with another base (unless there was a formal agreement between the two bases) — would effectively limit Lyft’s supply of drivers to the 10 that are affiliated with the company’s base in New York. The one way around this is if other bases agree to allow their drivers to also drive for Lyft.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Philadelphia\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.philly.com/philly/business/transportation/20141114_PUC_approves_Uber_for_state__not_Philadelphia.html\">PUC approves UberX for state, not Philadelphia\u003c/a> (Philadelphia Inquirer)\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>UberX, the controversial ride-sharing service, won approval Thursday to operate in most of Pennsylvania, but not in Philadelphia.
