As much as I like Mamdani, that is a pretty poor posture for riding a bike.
You gotta use the balls of your feet! It's much more effiecient and comfortable

He is riding a short distance in dress shoes, not racing. His priority is having his shoes not slip off the pedals, not peak efficiency.

I usually ride my bike casually, not racing either, and I still like the bikeride to not be heavier than it needs to be.
That said, I have never cycled using dress shoes, so that might be a valid point.

They are very slippery. He is riding correctly for his clothes. 👍

Your balls are on your feet?? Medical science has sure come a long way..

It's either that, or it's public education that still has a long way to go /jk
