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!
Just rode 100 miles in one day for the first time ever! Holy #%*$!!!! #nyccentury #bikenyc @transalt
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.
