Things are getting very bikey here in NYC. Last night, my commute was through some very windy and cold weather. There were still people on bikes, wearing clothes to combat the cold. I see a very encouraging trend.

Some of my cow-orkers tell me they used to ride in but haven't recently. (I'm new here.) But they don't think I'm weird and are glad to see me riding in. We don't have much bike parking, but my boss doesn't want me to risk my bike, so he lets me just bring it in and lean it against the wall near my desk, and for that, I am grateful. They all think my bike is super-cool, which is funny, because I haven't really thought about it. But with the leather saddle, leather handlebar tape, dynamo front wheel and light system, I guess it is pretty cool. It's also pretty heavy.
