Bikes in the city
NYC is trying out a new bike-friendly street layout, and it's all good news. As David Byrne points out, this is how they do it in Europe. I had the chance to bike in Copenhagen, and the feel was so different from cycling here. Much less fear of death-by-taxi or pedestrian collision, much more relaxing. It's slower too. Cyclists pay attention to stop-lights, and generally ride at a less frenzied pace - I guess that's the price of going mainstream.
