    The suited bicyclist in the first photo reminded me of the LVMH chairman's photo in the New York Times, seen riding an opafiets:

    Perhaps you'll take a trip to Chicago, soon!

    ah, my favorite post of the NYT, nurtured with my photos :)

    You never know, Steven, I'll be sure to give you a heads up.

    Whoa, I never looked at that slideshow. I do recognize all the photos. That's awesome. Did NYT contact you about the photos or did you license them with Creative Commons?

    I figured that, like so many others before you ;), although it has been listed since on the side of the blog ('Publications, mentions & conferences'). Yes, they contacted me and asked how I liked to be credited etc, so all good. Earlier, I had helped out the Dutch Consulate in NYC for the NY400 event, so I thought I'd go along with this one, too :).

    I love NYC. The only place other than SF I have ever given serious thought to living in the US.

    I feel quite the same, Adrienne, a slight edge for SF, though...yeah, hills and everything, I know, right?! :)
  • Adrienne · 1 month ago
    Huge edge here! What are you talking about? : )

    hahaha, sssssshhhhhh, not too loud :)

    In my modest opinion, SFO has a huge edge over pretty much anywhere in world...

    Stop over in New Orleans....It's a great Bicycle City.

    I wish, Beaux, I so wish I could!

    thanks for that, Beaux, I know and love that video, as I've been following NOLA (and the cycle scene) for quite some time, I posted about the film Trouble The Water last year. A few readers of mine from New Orleans actually started their own cycle videoblog because of Amsterdamize Bicycle TV. One of them is Kate, who runs A View From My Bike.

    I'd certainly love to post more about New Orleans and its (cycle) vibe.
    Cheers,

    I have just discovered you - someone pointed me to you!!!! your site is brilliant!

    i live in australia and have to combat helmet laws (which i'm doing like some wild banshee through the court system) - at this stage i have a criminal conviction for the crime of 'ride bicycle without helmet' but i plan to keep making a song and a dance about it!! - for the sake of my poor family and dear friends i have started a blog for 'babbling away' purposes - they had all become heartily sick of me - oh dear! www.freedomcyclist.blogspot.com
