Utility of The Bike

Riding in Japan

Interesting how presence changes perspective. After the Tsunami, the Japanese rode bikes and continue to do so in a mini bike boom. Post Sandy, NYC is discovering the utility of the bike and that’s what we’re posting about here. Local bike advocates are responding with #bikesandy events, commuter stations, free rental bikes, and blinkies.
