Biking in NYC- most people seem to ride old beat up bikes. There are way fewer cyclists than I expected given how impossible driving is. There aren't many places to lock up bikes. Many streets don't have bike lanes and traffic is kind of a free for all.

Still, commuting on bike seems doable. I've just been in Manhattan. We'll probably go to Brooklyn this weekend. Likely more bike friendly there.

Haven't seen a single fixie. Maybe a few left in Williamsburg.

Saw a couple of dudes with bikes on the subway. They looked extremely tired for some reason.
