The only thing that came up from the ny post when I googled it was an article from a year ago that chassidishe schools put a ban on bike riding to school. That article put yidden in a very bad light. If that’s what you’re talking about, I would say that it could be it was banned because of sakana. Maybe the schools were afraid of someone getting hurt on their bike on the way to or from school. That happened to me once. I was riding home from school when I was in elementary school and I lost control of the bike and I rode into traffic. Baruch Hashem I was fine. A week later the principal went to every classroom and said that everyone who leaves school must be supervised. “We had an incident a week ago where a kid got hurt and I don’t want to be responsible for accidents like that.” I hadn’t realized someone had told the principal on me.
