New York City is more than the place you see in movies and on tv. Sure, there are aliens, comedians, cops, criminals, ethnics, musicians, neurotics, incredible architecture, great art, and amazing food all competing for your attention, but it's also a great city for cyclists, and getting better all the time. Where To Bike New York City takes you on a tour of all five boroughs and reaches over to Northern New Jersey as well. Non-cyclists only see the density and asphalt and the cars and trucks and people and potholes and the buildings and don't understand where the riding is. It's because they look at New York through the eyes of a driver, not from the saddle of a bike. This is a book for both the tourist and the native, for both will see something new and have a great time doing it.

Let's repeat: the city is a great place to be a cyclist. Not only is commuting easy and getting easier, but taking care of errands, going on dates, training for fitness, and finding adventure on two wheels is simple as well. When you're commuting by bike, you can just about always get the rockstar parking spot and you're never stuck in gridlock. When you want an adventure, just wheel your way to some place you haven't been before. When you just want to exercise, you can find that, too. Where To Bike New York City shows you the city as a cyclist sees it, a way you can see it to, if you're willing to climb aboard a bike and head out your door.
