Hey everyone, just checking in after a long hiatus from BF. Nice to see this thread as active as ever. I have yet to bike commute this year, mainly due to laziness and also because it's way too easy to drive since my company moved its office. Also, it's snowing today. I'll start again next week, I promise.

I was in NYC (Manhattan) last week on business and had Sunday to bum around. I did all my longer trips by CitiBike, travelling around the perimeter of the lower half of the island and over to Brooklyn (tip: avoid the Brooklyn bridge!). What a great system that CitiBike is. I mainly stayed on the separated bike paths and didn't ride much in traffic, so I don't think I got a true NYC cycling experience, but it was enough to appreciate the comparably low traffic volume and wide streets that I ride on at home.

Okay, next post here will be after a bike commute.
