This morning, bike commuter and Bronx librarian Rachael Myers won Transportation Alternatives' 8th Annual Great NYC Commuter Race in 20 minutes, 15 seconds, coming in ahead of transit rider Dan Hendrick (35:16) and taxi rider Willie Thompson (47:11) in the race to be declared New York's fastest commuter. The competitors began at Aubergine Café in Sunnyside, Queens and commuted 4.2 miles to Columbus Circle in Manhattan.

Way to go, Rachael!
