I loved biking NYC when I lived there, from Bklyn to Manhattan. In the early 90s there were no barriers btw "bike lanes" and traffic, so it was always harrowing. This video does a great job showing off how cool it is to bike around the city. Can't wait to bike there again. Great video! I loved biking NYC when I lived there, from Bklyn to Manhattan.

But this is a very good start to improving our lives, and saving our planet.

Great video to show people wondering who benefits from bicycle infrastructure. Thanks and keep up the good work!

It was a hot day so he was wearing his dress shoes, socks, a helmet and boxer shorts. The rest of his clothing was folded in his front basket.   so a few years back I saw this guy commuting to work on the Hudson River Path.
