BSNYC Friday No Quiz AGAIN Instead Let's Citi Bike!!!

In my efforts to scour every inch of this great metropolis by bike share (well, at least the gentrified parts, since that's where all the bike share stations are) so far I have been attacked by zombies wearing underpants:


As well as forced to fight my way out of the overpriced flea markets of Brooklyn:


Now I'm pleased to bring you the thrilling conclusion of this three-part, tri-borough series, wherein I travel from from Brooklyn into to Queens and finally back to the island of Manhattan:

By the way, here are the stats on this leg for all my fellow Cat 6-es out there:


I'm talking to Citi Bike about adding power output information to the account summary section of their website and I'll let you know how all that goes.

Oh, and if you're wondering #whatpressureyourunning, if you've ever ridden a Citi Bike you know the answer to that is ROCK FUCKIN' HARD.

Anyway, enjoy, ride safe this weekend, and I'll see you all back here next week for more truly transcendent bicycle-themed web-logging.

Your's ect.,


--Wildcat Rock Machine

    USA track cycling has leftside drive bikes. My rides have a lot of left turns, so this coukd be an advantage for the average road rider like me looking for some aerodynamic gains. Also for left-leg dominate riders.

    Nice finish to the triptych. "A Three Borough Tour" kind of reminded me of the Giligan's Island "three hour tour", glad the weather did not start getting rough since you had no movie star, millionaire, professor or Mary Anne. And "all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money." Is that the same as laundered money driving up real estate prices?

    Hot as balls out. Sposed to be a little stome u du century outside later... well maybe some thunda storms but. Twill be an epic bus ride home later.

    Taking a day off from the bikeride makes me feel like supa man the next day. Much less fatigue and etc. So yesterday (after not riding Weds.) I took the 59th St Bridge and had a great ride.
    From Bay Ridge to midtown I come in the lazy way ... Manhattan Bridge, 11 miles. Home via the Wiliamsburg Bridge and around the Navy Yahd (in Amity, you say Yahd), 14 miles. But the new fun out of the way long way is over the EdKochBrothers/59th St/Queensboro Bridge 15.8 mi.
    My usual times home are 50-55 min the lazy way, 1hr to 1:05min the Williburg Way and I just did 1hr:10 min home via the 59th St Bridge. On the map it looks so much more but it goes so fast. I think it's because the route has a lot of bike lanes.
    But the good part of all this is a couple of months ago I was 252 - 255 pounds and just hit 235 last weekend. So there must be something to this bike stuff because I continue to eat like crap.

    Seeing the Trump Tower climber, I just think of the Spider Pig theme song from the Simpsons Movie.
    Now you can't get that shit out of your head !!! Bwwhhahahaha!

    Thanks, Wildcat. I was hoping for your tour of Queens to include Astoria, Sunnyside and La Guardia, then I realized there probably aren't any Citi bikes up there.
    Hopefully, more Queens in a later installment.
