Are you coming in for fun or to get around the city?
I'm coming in to get around as a one time deal. I already got the bike permit for the LIRR.
When you mention riding in the lane, you mean with the flow of traffic on the road? Also the bell, is there a specific model or type you would recommend? Thanks a lot. Safety first.
Peace.
