Bike to Work Week: Arriving at the Office Unscathed

Posted on May 15, 2013 by George

It’s Bike to Work week, with the official Bike to Work Day on Friday, May 17. This means more cyclists on the streets of New York City, which we love. And hopefully, after NYC Bike Share officially launches later this month, we’ll have even more people getting around the city more efficiently. After tweeting out some photos to promote the idea and perhaps encourage and inspire city guys to get on a bike, some followers posed a couple of important … Continue reading →

CAUGHT: Cameras Are Everywhere. Dress for It.

Posted on March 8, 2013 by George

As someone who promotes the virtues of the bicycle as the ultimate mode of city transportation, it is to my advantage to take my own suggestion and not just talk the talk but to also walk the walk. (Or is it ride the ride?) Last week, I was on my way to a meeting in the West Village on my bike. Unbeknownst to me, New York Roll Models photographer Billy Powers happened to be at the corner of Bank and … Continue reading →

I Love New York

13 min., 34 sec. This episode comes with Fall, my favorite season in New York City.

The Brooklyn Cruiser Giveaway

Posted on June 3, 2012 by George

As any friend or reader of this blog knows, I love my bike. Cycling is already the most cost-cutting, time-saving, fat-burning way to get around town. But after I got my Bedford Men’s City Bike from Brooklyn Cruiser last year, cycling also became what I think is the most stylish way to get around town. Sure, I’ve clocked serious miles just taking it out for exercise and pleasure cruises in a t-shirt, old chinos and Chuck Taylors. But I’ve also … Continue reading →

The Experience of The 2012 New Amsterdam Bicycle Show

Posted on May 1, 2012 by George

As my friends and readers know, I love my bike. My ride is a Brooklyn Cruiser, which not only gets me around town, but it also turns heads. When someone attractive looks my way, my excitement quickly subsides when I realize they’re admiring the bike. But the bike is more than just a slick way to get around town. It’s also an amazing money and time saver. I only take a taxi under unusual circumstances, and I can’t remember the … Continue reading →

A Tangerine Dream from Brooklyn Cruiser

Posted on March 20, 2012 by George

It started with the Bedford Men’s Commuter Bike last year. It was a modern twist on the classic Dutch frame with a Sturmey Archer 2-speed kick shift hub, a leather dual coil saddle and exquisite ergonomic leather handle grips. And with those creamy tires and that wood box fastened to the rear carry rack, the Bedford was and remains a real head-turner. (It also happens to be my current ride, and it will only be taken from my cold dead … Continue reading →
