Spin City
In the New York Times: Spin City: "Could New York be on the verge of becoming a bicycle-friendly city? The city has nearly quadrupled the miles of bike paths, from on-street lanes to greenways, since 1997, and more people than ever are cycling. According to the city's Department of Transportation, the number of people riding through Midtown in 2003 had tripled since 1980, to about 15,300. Still, New York is no Amsterdam, where bikes have not only their own lanes but their own traffic signals, or Chicago, which recently opened a bike depot in the heart of downtown. . . ."

Candidates' choices of bikes analyzed
Candidates' choices of bikes analyzed: "CRAWFORD, Texas — This election cycle, the choice could not be clearer, the polarization more pronounced.
We are a nation divided, torn asunder by presidential candidates on opposite ends of a telling spectrum.
President Bush is a mountain biker. Think knobby tires, hilly climbs, tricky descents, thrills and spills on a vehicle that can be a weapon of (three letters, rhymes with 'mass,' no 'm') destruction.
Though he does some mountain biking too, challenger John Kerry is primarily a road biker. Think skinny tires, Lance Armstrong, the hypnotic Zen of pedal cadence and tire hum and mile upon mile upon mile of pavement.
A man can tell you a lot when he tells you what kind of bike he rides."
