dont get knock down

Not bad. I t will sure save me some time and money to get around.

Recommendation: Bike need a bell.

Caution: If you are not adventurous do not try it, Manhattan is crazy traffic.

This has been successful in London. Mayor Johnson was in NY last year and suggested it to Bloomberg.

He could even wear it over the Kurta and be like Superman.

Lol....y'all is crazy :

bai you look like a guyanese pimp on that bike yesterday

Street riding is not simple. You can get doored, or squeezed to the curb easily. Take up all of the lane if you have to. Do not try to ride beside a car if there is no specified bike lane. You are as fast as cars most of the time in the city anyway and you have a right to the lane as they do legally. Take the sidewalk as often as you can. Better you run into a pedestrian than you run into a car.

hiya all

why dog?  he had a guyanese flag stick up on he bike??? 

Chief..sunday morning, get de lil bird cage with de lil bird and tek a ride down liberty ave    back-home market day style

riding a bike with shoes and tie is not yet common in  Manhattan muchless blowing whistle because the bike did not come with a bell

LMAO...u right, a pimp, i just had a mental vision ..lol

u da man Chief !! 

Thanks for all the advise.

Sunil Bloomberg is turning Manhattan into England and Europe with all the plazas and bike lanes.

Marcy I prefer to drive the "birds".

DU the tie and suit thing on a bike has been around a long time it's just that you are not payiung attention. With the advent of the Citi Bike you will see more of that. This morning when I got off the LIRR i TOOK A BIKE AND RODE TO THE OFFICE AND GUESS HWAT THERE WERE ONLY TWO BIKES BY pENN sTATION, SO IT'S CATCHING ON.

Chief went to lunch in Harlem today. Like he frikken dem boys tief he bike 

Amral i hope is you Chief buy them locks from

Either that or they get tief.

Your advise is very useful.

Riding  the city streets is not the same as the suburbs and I am comming to realize that. As per your advise I am taking up the lane as much as possible.

Thanks D2

Thanks D2.

i WILL PRINT THAT AND DISTRIBUTE TO ALL MY  BIKERS WHO WORK FOR ME.

Good advice there.

The following is one I use constantly. Because of the sewer grilles on our streets, the wheels, especially the slim ones as I use can get caught up in them which could be quite dangerous.

I also see riders swerving from them which is also dangerous. They should place themselves at a safe distance where they miss the grille ( approx two feet from the curb)

"It's often safer to take the whole lane, or at least ride a little bit to the left, rather than hug the right curb. Here's why:

• Cars at intersections ahead of you can see you better if you're squarely in the road rather than on the extreme edge where you're easily overlooked.
• Taking the lane prevents cars from passing you too closely on narrow roadways.
• Riding a bit to the left prevents you from being a victim of the door prize."
