I've been riding a bicycle as my principal means of transportation in New York since the early 1980s. I tentatively first gave it a try, and it felt good even here in New York… I know, one doesn't usually think of nightclubbing and bike riding as being soul mates, but there is so much to see and hear in New York, and I discovered that zipping around from one place to another by bike was amazingly fast and efficient… As I got a little older I also may have felt that cycling was a convenient way of getting some exercise, but at first I wasn't thinking of that. It just felt good to cruise down the dirty potholed streets. It was exhilarating.
