Colin Beavan (aka No Impact Man) has been having his share of challenges biking on the road,
here and
here. He recently had a verbal altercation when he was nearly hit by a mercedes driven by NY State Senator
Jeff Klein. As a member of the group
Transportation Alternatives, he has asked State Senator Klein to have a meeting "to discuss
transportation policy as it relates to bicycle safety, carbon emissions, the cultivation of New York City quality of life, breathable air, and traffic congestion.. " (

All summer I've been going to Governor's Island to bike or go to concerts. I went again this past Saturday and did some free miniature golf (get what you pay for), free kayaking, and of course biking.
Here's a shot from near the art show gallery near the North end of the Island
There's a few great art peices outside that all deal with rats. I liked this one a lot.
And at the concert stage there was a 1920's festival going on. Here people are learning the Lindy-hop on the temporary dance floor.
