Warm November afternoon spin on the Prospect Park loop. #bikenyc #brooklyn
Had a wonderful day exploring Austin by bike. Rode the crushed gravel paths along the river, pedaled around UT Austin, stopped for tacos at Torchy’s. It’s amazing how easy it is to get a sense for a city when you’re riding a bike.
Bikes EVERYWHERE on the UT Austin campus. #bikeaustin
Renting bikes at Mellow Johnny’s to pedal around Austin for a few hours. #bikeaustin
Just got beat up the Manhattan Br by a girl on city bike wearing a purple wool coat, skirt, tights and high heeled boots. #bikenyc #brooklyn #cyclechic #badass

A #bikenyc traffic jam on the top of the Triborough Bridge today. Nice view — but kind of a scary spot!

NYC CENTURY TOMORROW! ONE HUNDO! DO OR DIE!

The Chicago transportation commissioner, Gabe Klein, noted that biking pushed back against a range of modern ills. “There’s the congestion problem,” he said. “The pollution problem. The obesity problem. The gas problem.”
On top of all that, it makes an important statement about our priorities — about our willingness to amend the reckless, impatient, gluttonous ways that have created not only smog and clog in our cities but also a staggering federal debt.
“Bikes are definitely a symbol of what your city stands for,” said Klein.
