On Friday, I had lunch with Christine and Kamran, who was in the process of picking out a bike (& ended up getting one the following day on his birthday!). We talked a bit about bikes and biking in NYC, as it seems to be a popular topic amongst my friends & acquaintances this summer. They asked me, "So with everyone around you biking now, are you going to get one? Would you?" Without hesitation, I replied no. Honestly, I don't think I have the guts to bike in Manhattan. Also, I have nowhere to store a bike currently. Add on my current income. Really, I never even considered getting one because it just seemed un-me.
BUT
I have to say that (coincidentally!) Design*Sponge just put up 2 posts in a row about bikes and for the first time ever, I want one. I know, I know, I have zero knowledge on bikes (except how to ride them kind of), and the ones featured in the post are probably not the ideal road bikes for the rough streets of NYC...but they're super cute & I can accessorize. So yeah, maybe having a bike wouldn't be too shabby. Not to mention, I was watching the news tonight and evidently, MTA is considering jacking the monthly unlimited up to $130 (that's a whole 'nother anger-inducing topic though; let's stay cheery).
Look how pretty! And eco-friendly, yeah?
