I bike around New York City as a way of getting everywhere I need to go.

I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.

I've had biker clubs reach out to me whenever they knew I was in their city.

I ride my bike almost every day here in New York. It's getting safer to do so, but I do have to be fairly alert when riding on the streets as opposed to riding on the Hudson River bike path or similar protected lanes.

I cannot emphasize just how dangerous it is cycling in the city. Especially now. Even though it is against the law to do this, you'll see people texting while they drive.

When I was in New York, I took my bike everywhere for transportation. I didn't have a fixed-gear bicycle, like a lot of the messengers do, but I had a stripped-down deal - having lost a few good ones in New York - and I did 10 to 15 miles a day just getting around the city.

New York's a big playground. I have a bike, and I'm really into just being outside. Especially in the summertime.

My least favorite thing about New York is probably the traffic. I hate it. The people are such aggressive drivers here, they're horrible.

I spent a lot of my life schlepping around New York with people not doing things for me.

I do a lot of eavesdropping. That's one of the things I miss about New York: just checking people out.
