+1 – Riding NYC was by far the best choice I made to see the city. It’s still a little bit Thunderdome on the streets, don’t believe all those news stories saying it’s a cycling nirvana. Not quite yet anyway.
I am going to NYC for the first time in a few weeks, and I am seriously considering renting a bike while I am out there, but do not know where the safe areas are to ride bikes… I am from a small town, and the idea of biking on those city streets really frightens me. Do you have any recommendations on the best areas to bike in the Manhattan area? I am looking into staying at some Cheap Hotels in NYC like the Hampton Inn Times Square New York, so any suggestions for that area would be great. Thanks.
