one to plan for next year

Tomorrow's event is the Five Boros Bike Ride.  There will be some 35,000 cyclists. Lots of folk come from interstate just to take part. It would be a great way to see a bit more of the city, beyond Manhattan.

High security, as in no bags allowed at all. The was the Avenue of the Americas, (6th Avenue) just outside my hotel. There were bikes going past like this for at least an hour, maybe two.

The city is introducing a share bike scheme called City Bike

Heavy duty bike locks are the norm

Beat the parking issues! High-rise for cars is common.
