Bike to Work Week: Arriving at the Office Unscathed
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

Observing First-Hand How the Bike Trumps the Car in Manhattan
Dressed for work, I pedaled at a leisurely pace up a very busy 6th Avenue at the height of the congested work day. I wanted to see how hard/easy/fast/slow the bicycle felt as a legit way to commute around midtown. Even though there is no protected (or even designated) bike lane on 6th or 5th Avenues in midtown, I managed to blow past cars stuck in traffic, getting where I needed to go, without breaking a sweat in my lowest … Continue reading

Since I had yet to make my annual summer trip to Cleveland to visit family – a trip for which I usually rent a car so I can bring the … Continue reading

The Experience of The 2012 New Amsterdam Bicycle Show
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

Stanley Kubrick, Photographer
Before he began his career as a director of iconic films we love, like Spartacus, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket, New York City native Stanley Kubrick was a photographer. He sold his first image to LOOK magazine in 1945 at the age of 17, and continued to work as a New York City-based photographer for the magazine until 1950. Curators at the Museum of the City of New York and VandM have gone … Continue reading
