Folding bike is not redundant if you live in a water closet of an apartment, Citi Bike not withstanding. You try finding a Citi Bike on the Lower East Side in the morning. Or you decide to go somewhere like, say, Point Lookout. That ride would have cost $300 or something.

Shoalers jockey to get ahead because they fear I'm going to slow them down, but I'm generally the first one across the intersection, without even trying.<br /><br />I used to think too hard about where to position myself so that I'm not doing something startling like passing on the right, but I've found that it doesn't matter. Usually they're all just behind me, half of them on their phones tweeting about how great shoaling is.<br /><br />It only gets complicated when another folding bike shows up ...Jymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675802996264542565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-56232886260712158102014-06-19T11:59:59.746-04:002014-06-19T11:59:59.746-04:00Man those corn dogs really messed me up.
