“If we had a slob in the White House, all the hipsters would turn into some walking Chippendales calendar,” Mr. Peres said. Instead, the streets of Williamsburg are crowded with men who are, as he noted, “proudly rocking a gut.” Mr. Peres’s magazine has a term for these people: the new “poor-geoisie.” But the people lining up for $13 lobster rolls at the Brooklyn Flea last weekend hardly looked as if they were worried about making the rent.
I’m glad to be a slowrider. #bikenyc #hipster vs #roadie

Found an old 2003 NYC Cycling Map (left). It’s amazing to compare it side-by-side with with the new 2009 version (right). Red represents on-street bike lanes and green is offstreet routes. The improvement is just phenomenal.
Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard the past 5 years making NYC such a great place to ride!
