So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
When I'm walking under stars / I covet all the waning hours — Neko Case, Tightly |

I’ve never ridden a bicycle in New York City, and I’ve been told it’s…challenging. I’m glad to see the greatest city on earth doing more to encourage cycling and, more importantly, to actively discourage driving.

Bike, Don’t Drive, City Tells Its Workers
By SEWELL CHANThe city has drastically cut the number of free parking permits it gives to city employees, including teachers. So how else are civil servants supposed to get to work?
On Wednesday, city officials said they would expand secure bicycle parking for employees at five municipal buildings in Lower Manhattan in the fall. Three existing bike parking facilities will be enlarged, going to 110 spaces from 46, and two others will be added, creating 24 new parking spaces.
While we’re at it, hurrah to both New York and the always interesting David Byrne for the most interesting bike racks I’ve seen in a long time.
