As many of you know, I would love to ride my bike to work everyday, but I don't intend to be a martyr just yet. For instance less than a month ago, an elderly woman was killed while riding her bike by a tour bus.

Plus, I have nowhere to park my bike at work and would have to carry it up and down 2 flights of stairs to store it in my apartment. New York is no Chicago when it comes to biking, forget about getting to the level of European cities like Copenhagen where I lived for a year or Cambridge UK where I lived for 6 months.

If that weren't enough I read today that it might hurt my abilities in err...other areas of my life.

I think for now I'm going to keep with my system of walking to work as much as possible.
