BTW Pam, I'm glad you shared this. It is definitely interesting to look into a slightly-warped, not very accurate representative depiction of NY biking life![]()

That's all terrific if you want to run around and do some errands within a mile or two, somewhere relatively flat flat place with good weather and little traffic.... It might work fine in Copenhagen, NYC - flat places of exceptional density, but isn't necessarily particularly feasible if you need to travel further, live somewhere hilly, have to deal with serious traffic (and I don't mean traffic jams, but rather fast moving heavy traffic that you need to share lanes with) or want to use a bicycle full time - no matter the weather.....
In any case some of us don't wear Prada anything or 3 inch heels even when we're not on the bike...
