New Yorkers for Bicycling Declaration?

Hi There ,

I was approached by a NYC Bike Ambassador while riding to work this morning and he asked me to sign a Declaration to support bike lanes in NYC. Unfortunately I was running late and didn't have time, but he said that I could sign it online as well. Where can I find this NYers for Bicycling Declaration?

Day 2: I began my ride where so many other great things in New York began: Brooklyn

I began my ride where so many other great things in New York began: Brooklyn. The very first bike lane in New York City was the Ocean Parkway that gets you from Prospect Park to Coney Island, so this was the natural place for me to start my ride on all the bike lanes.

I took the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan, and found myself surrounded by concrete on the bike lane connecting the bridge to Tillary Street in downtown Brooklyn.  Lucky for us plans are in the works to spruce up what should be a grand entrance to Brooklyn.
