BSNYC Friday Self-Promotion!

Sorry I'm late, a short ride may have happened:

I really like that bike.  There's really not much you can't do on a metal bike with medium reach rim brakes.  (Or "rime breaks" in Craigslist.)  Also, if you live in New York City, here's the secret to happiness:

1) Easy access to the subway;
2) Easy access to a 20-mile loop that doesn't involve laps.

Everything else is gravy.

Anyway, with the weekend upon us I won't keep you for long, but firstly here's the latest installment in my ongoing attempt to foment anger and unrest among the gear-obsessed readers of Outside:

It's only been a few minutes now but I'm pleased to see it's already having the desired effect:

this is a dumb take. https://t.co/1Kj5aaTxSd

Whatever you say.

And if that's not enough for you, here's a little spin I took in Astoria, Queens recently and wrote up for the Citi Bike site:

For the record, "Tour De Queens" was not my title as I generally try to avoid the whole "Tour de [Blank]" thing.  Of course, it's still a much better title than "Putting the 'Ass' in Astoria," which is the sort of inanity I'm liable to come up with if left to my own devices.  So there you go.

So with that I'm now going to leave you to your own devices, and I'll see you back here on Monday.  Enjoy the weekend, ride safe, and may your tire pressure be eternally optimal.

I love you,
