here have a bit of climbing.

I am impressed. The last time I was in NY city was back in '78. I had a great time, especially in Manhattan. Things have changed so much in all those years. Its become a bike friendly environment. I was taken back by the first video showing what looks like dedicated roadways strictly for bikes during the first minute or two into the video. Would that be through Central Park by any chance?

Thanks for showing that. It makes me want to go on another trip, especially with my Brommie.
