Cycling in hell and loving it-article
I found an article about a rather intense and colorful analysis/description of cycling, commuting, fitness, life and death as a cyclist in the Big Apple. It's a couple of pages on the salon.com site.

That's a nice piece, even poetic at times. Very sinister feel to it. I guess one has to have this mindset when attempting to cycle in NYC. I'm thankful my route to work is fairly safe in comparison.

Cycling almost anywhere introduces you to another world, one I'm glad to be a part of. I really identified with this piece, even though I'm not from New York City.
I give it, :thumbup: for truthfulness.
