NEW YORK -- Dozens of cyclists took to the streets of Manhattan on Wednesday to demand Mayor Eric Adams take action to stop bike fatalities.

Twenty-six people have been killed while riding their bikes in New York City so far this year.

The cyclists gathered in Washington Square Park and held a vigil for the victims.

Organizers say the city is on track to have the second deadliest year for cyclists on record.
