Sorry I've been away from the blog for a week. The weather has warmed up and the lure of the roads traversing New Jersey's beautiful countryside has proven to be too strong for this cooped up cyclist to resist. Plus, I finally got a job! (yeah!) I've been collecting these articles for nearly a month but they are all important, so pardon if there is a lot of them. Keep on walkin' and rolin'!

New York City
NYCDoT and its commssioner, Janette Sadik-Khan have been taking an irrational trashing in the press as of late for their innovative bicycle and pedestrian treatments. I may not always like some particular things that they do over there but one cannot underestimate how important the innovations going on over in NYC are for the bike/ped movement here in New Jersey and for the nation as a whole.
