Nice! It would be nice to be able to explore NYC without having to venture down to the subway as much.

This article makes me wish that Portland's transportation bureau

I don’t like bikes on city streets.

Too dangerous...especially at night.

As I recall the mayor of New Orleans was more interested in installing bike trails along the levees surrounding the city than actually beefing up the levee system. Then Katrina came along.
