So many different kinds of bicycles turned out to pound the pavement at this year's Summer Streets. The NYTimes' Bill Cunningham voices his reaction to the myriad of multicolored wheels in his weekly video about NYC fashion. Check it out HERE

Check out this recent New York Times article discussing GoogleMap's introduction of bike directions to its list of transit types. Tell us what your experience has been with this new feature!

I see you regularly on the Manhattan Bridge going into Brooklyn in the
morning wearing a shiny black helmet. One day i went to see Oneida play
(with Silver Apples) and you or a doppleganger were on stage and was
introduced as a founding member of the band. I have been wondering ever
since if that is in fact you. Is it? I am dying to know! 

Do you have photos of the glorious new two-way, parking protected bike lane on Brooklyn's Prospect Park West? Send 'em our way! We want to document how this innovative street improvement is making this street safer for all street users. Show us how the lane is improving your ride!

To post pics, sign in (or create an account if you don't yet have one!) and submit to the "Photos" section of bikingrules.org

Photos may also be submitted to aja@transalt.org

To the young man I always cross paths with on the Manhattan Bridge: I salute your selection of old-school aviator hat and goggles as standard bike gear.  

You and I share a good bit of my morning commute; we ride together down
Ashland to Navy, up Sands street and over the Manhattan Bridge. You ride
a red folding bike with a tassle on the seat. I can see your neon green
windbreaker from a mile away. It secretly shames me that you are faster
than me, despite the fact that my wheels are three times the size of
yours--I vow that one day I will beat you over the bridge, and
cheerfully wait for you to arrive at the bottom.
