NYC's Boom 'Cycle'
From the NY Post: It's a Boom 'Cycle'
And kinda sorta related: State cuts down on idling trucks
So more bikes and cleaner air. That's a good start.

131,000 and climbing! I've been to 8 of those five borough rides.
I think NYC has a lot less pot holes than Boston!

Not to forget that NYC has more comic book heroes than the rest
of the country combined.

I did Bike Boston last year. At the end of that ride I'm wishing
that the Bike NYC peeps would show them how it's done.
