NYC cyclists
There's a long article in New Yorker on New York City cyclists. I was a DC cyclist today, riding into the District to attend the regional 2007 Bike to Work Day meeting (May 18, 2007). It's about a 50 mile round trip, mostly along the W&OD Trail, Custis Trail, and Mt. Vernon Trail. The rest is on-road, much of it in the city. Contrary to what you might think, riding in the city is much better than here in the suburbs. In the burbs many of the streets are cul-de-sacs, forcing through traffic onto busy major roads without shoulders. In the city most motorists are accustomed to driving with cyclists, and there is usually enough room to ride comfortably.
