I want to live in Copenhagen or Groningen. Or at least I want to visit them one day.

Bicycling Magazine rated New York as #1 in the US. We New Yorkers shrieked with laughter and asked if this is as good as it gets. But to be fair, it has gotten pretty good, in as much as it's possible here. It's a tough and chaotic place. It always has been and always will be. It is hard to describe New York as anything-friendly. I can think of lots of nice adjectives for New York, but friendly isn't one of them. I'm not saying people here are not nice. We actually are. But gentle? No.
