GO RIDE YOUR CITY!
I've been riding "in" my Velomobile Quest since it arrived November 20th. With over 1,100 miles on it so far I have truly been infected by the Velo Virus. I haven't ridden any other bike since. The speed is amazing.
I know I will soon have to get on my tandem and triplet to transport kids throughout the warmer seasons but how will I handle going soooooo Slooowwwwww.........
I take the Organic Engines out alot. Its so much fun to ride that I don't mind crawling along. I always comment to myself how fast it is for a bike that weighs 120lbs! Going back to the upright position might be a stange new feeling! When I went recumbent it was a year before I got back on my upright. After about 10 mins , I thought it really sucked and never looked back!
Cycling since the age of six. Never got off my bike,.I became a bicycle messenger in the 80's for Can Carriers, Started Born to Run Bicycle Messengers a few years after. I guess I made an unconscious decision to use my car as little as possible in NYC until I just eventually got rid of it.
I've bicycle toured all over the States including Alaska,and Hawaii!I also made it to the jungles of Mexico. As far as Europe I've only made it to France.I've always been a Cycling Commuter in NYC from Manhattan,Queens and Ft Lee ,NJ.
My wife makes fun of me because I hardly know how to navigate the subway!
I hope to enlighten all of you with this blog.Cycling is not just about Racing and Light Bicycles.If you travel the blog and use the search box ,you'll find bicycles and people from all walks of life.The uses for these incredible machines are endless especially in an Urban environment like NYC! My Favorite place to ride is without a doubt Martha's Vineyard.My favorite bicycle trip is riding from NYC to Martha's Vineyard! Second Favorite place to ride is Manhattan!
Have fun on the blog.If any of you have some interesting story feel free to Email me!
