I saw David riding his bike on the west side a few months ago. Near the Javits Convention Center. He was crossing the West Side Highway to get to the bike lanes. He was wearing a helmet.

Europe in general is very bike friendly. Germany, Holland, Austria awesome placed to bike at.

I saw him on the corner of 7th Ave, across the street where the St. Vincent's Hospital used to be, oddly enough, and he was coming to a full stop on his bike when I noticed him and instinctly put out my hand out to shake his saying "It's a pleasure sir". Poor man shook my hand frightened to the bone. Never jump in front of a man coming to a stop on his bike late at night in a dark Manhattan night. Lesson learned.

What kind of cruiser bike is he riding, by the way?

I fear bicyclists more than cars. I've had too many close calls with them. Too many don't follow the rules, fly through the streets and are completely silent. So far, the bike lanes have not eased traffic one bit. Terrible idea.

I thought he was from Milwaukee orginally? He needs to help them out.

They have a pretty good urban scene there. It does not have to be a big city to be hip and urban

I thought he was from Milwaukke originally? He should be helping his old town?
