Your images make me long for my bike rides down broadway from the park to the bridge this summer. Those miles of potholes and cab-cutoffs are some of the best of my life. All the better from Paris - which has to be one of the most bike-unfriendly cities in the modern world. I imagine a parisien driver wouldn't think even once about running over a young american bike rider - although they would probably signal first just to be pompous about it.

Would that Tim and I lived in a city where this was more feasible! We did get rid of one car, though, so that's a start, and now Tim bikes to work, rain or shine. My next goal is to get a bike with a basket so I can at least do local grocery shopping etc. on weekends. Unfortunately I still have a long commute to work, probably too long to bike daily. Not impossible, but certainly a challenge in this city. Bryan,
