Biking

Nothing makes life more livable than biking. A 2021 study showed that regular cycling increased life expectancy by a whopping 24 percent. I think the best pace and way to see the world, and know my city, is at the pace of pedaling atop my bike saddle.

But let’s not be foolish. Biking in NYC isn’t for the faint of heart. Dodging 18-wheelers, ducking around City buses, trying not to get offended by the flipped fingers from pedestrians and drivers — well, it’s tough.

And that’s why years ago I dreamed up The Tube. Here is my latest version. If you like it, some high school students are making an activist push: https://www.facebook.com/thenyctube .
