Bikes: yes

in New York City, you can bike forever and keep exploring the corners of a city that's so big it keeps surprising you. In the summer you can ride out to Fort Tilden, in the Fall you can bring your bike on the Staten Island ferry and explore Staten Island then then watch on the ferry coming back as lower Manhattan somehow looks like a diorama, slowly getting bigger and bigger. In Winter you can feel hardcore cause you're still biking, and exchange those solidarity looks with other bundled up riders. You can fall once (you're only allowed one) on ice on the Williamsburg Bridge. In the Spring you can get hell of excited about racing at Kissena, and soak up the warm weather in Central Park, and high-five your bike friends who you haven't seen all in one place in months cause it's been stupid and cold and winter and you hate your job.

Riding in this city is ****ing awesome.
