hello everybody,

my name's simon, i am a cycling activist from brussels/berlin.

for the first time ever i will come over to the us in march, spending a week in nyc and the going on to philly for a seminar. i was trying to find out, where to rent bikes - and could only find touristic offers (like 40$ a day...), that doesn't fit me.
my dream - that will hopefully be realized - is to cycle a week around new york, discovering the city and then going on in 2 days from nyc to philly by bike. all in all, i am going to stay for two weeks.

so - who can help me? you have an old bike standing around and want me to bring it from ny to philly (and back)? or do you know people from nyc who can lent me a bike (for cheap)? other ideas?

waiting for your answers,
from the bittercold city of berlin,
simon
