I posted earlier about this New York photographer who has been riding his bicycle for a long time. Although this guy doesn't seem to drag around much on trailers.

The article doesn't even mention bicycles. Got any details on his bicycling activities? You haven't given us much to get excited about.

Admittedly sparse bicycle-specific detail in the article.

EASY RIDER -- ''I've been on a bike most of my life,'' says Bill Cunningham. ''My first job was delivering newspapers as a kid in Boston. When I was in the hat business, I'd ride up Park Avenue with piles of hat boxes on the handle bars. For a few years I retired the bike. Then came the subway strike of 1966, and I had to go downtown to do an interview at a window display house in SoHo for The Chicago Tribune. So I hopped on my bike again and haven't been off it since. I can see the whole city from that perch. I once gave Grace Jones a lift to her next modeling assignment. Without a bike I couldn't get to all the benefits and parties I cover for Evening Hours every Sunday. Since the 60's, 27 bikes have been stolen from me, and today I buy them only secondhand.'';

That's fantastic! This guy would be right at home here on this forum.

Oh yeah, but he needs to buy a good U-Lock and a secondary system.. He seems to be having bikes stolen at the rate of one a year. The quote above was from 1999 and he lost 27 bikes.
