My God They're Fast!
Broadway is already changed ! If my girlfriend keeps up this pace, the whole city could be bike and pedestrian friendly in no time... or at least by the time Bloomberg leaves office .

So wrong
Luckily somebody was filming. Uh, cops, you should always police like people are filming. That's not necessarily bad. Here's the article in the Times . It's worth reprinting in full: July 29, 2008 Officer Investigated in Toppling of Cyclist...

Invisible Riders
Roman at Keep It Street Level sent me this link about the immigrant Invisible Riders . In New York, I think the biggest group of invisible riders are all the food delivery men.

For the Hard Core, Two Wheels Beat Four
There's an article in the Times about commuting to work on bike. It was all same-old same-old until near the end. The article actually mentions and talks about the large but hidden population of bike riders: poor immigrants. So kudos to J. David Goodman...

Wheel of Misfortune
My bike died yesterday. Or maybe not. A few days ago I noticed a creaking sound when I pedaled, but it wasn’t coming from the pedals. It seemed to be caused by some motion when I was on the saddle, so I assumed the seat post had become dry and crusty...

Sexy Parisians
There's a good story in the Times about the Paris bike program ... perhaps coming to a corner near you. I was in Lyon a few years ago and was impressed with the system. I wrote about it on this blog . But there's an important detail, you can't...

Better Broadway
Change on Broadway! It's amazing what they can do when they have the will! They're taking out 2 lanes of traffic from 42nd to 34th Streets in Manhattan. Bike lanes are part of the plan. Read the story here . I love Janette Sadik-Khan and the fact...

5 on a bike
I saw a man with four kids on his bike today here in Amsterdam. Three in the front cargo space of his bakfiets . One in a backpack-like kid carrier. I wanted to get a picture, but he was biking too fast.

Run red lights!
This was just left in a comment . It got me so riled up I thought I'd reprint it here. Jamie writes: A woman on a bike who didn't stop for a red light almost hit me and my dog while we were crossing the street. We had a walk sign. There was no...

Missed Connections
Just last week I was in the bike store on 28th Ave (not my normal store, but being able to drink at the Rover while getting a flat fixed is a big plus). A beautiful young woman was looking at bikes saying she'd never biked in the city before. Or something...
