""First of all, it was just hilarious. He was so fast with that comeback," Moller said of her inspiration for the poster. "But we [at the shop] all ride bikes and our clients ride bikes. It's just something that's important to our community. Having that infrastructure and that representation shows that this is a viable form of transportation, and it's important to a lot of people.""
""Political hopefuls in New York City have long claimed to be \"avid cyclists,\" but few have proven to rack up the miles like Mamdani on a Citi Bike. Last election, Mayor Adams claimed to ride his bike every single day, telling City and State in 2018 that cycling was a \"combination of commute and therapy,\" while posing with a bike with a backwards front fork.""
Bushwick Print Lab created silkscreen posters depicting Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani riding an electric Citi Bike, inspired by his quip "It's pronounced cyclist." The shop produced about 20 prints and offered them on a first-come, first-served basis to people who could display an "I Voted!" sticker. Owner Ray Cross reported high demand and willingness to print more, noting the shop has ink and production capacity. Screen processor Jess Moller emphasized cycling's importance to the Bushwick community and representation for viable transportation. Mamdani racks up Citi Bike miles while Mayor Adams claimed daily cycling but enacted policies affecting bike lanes and e-bike regulation.
