Some of my friends in NYC get really into the whole cycling thing and pay absurd amounts of money for parts. They actually sit around and talk about it like gear heads talk about cars. Frankly, I always thought that they were crazy.

I don't know much about the high-end bikes, but that looks cool.

I've had a Dahon for a few years now. Fun, convenient way to zip around downtown. The entire first summer I had mine, at least twice a week someone would say (while I was stopped at an intersection):

"Hey! That thing's great!"

Me: "Yup. And it folds in half. Twice."

"Get outta here!"

Then I'd get off the bike and do a dramatic demonstration of bike folding. The following response was common:

"What the? Is that some sort of spy bike? You put that in a briefcase or something?"

The trick is to put the seat down low, they look cooler that way. Oh, and I've bolted a beat-up leather back pack on mine as a cargo holder. Got a flat tire at the moment, and it's gotten too cold outside to worry about it this year. They are cool little machines, though.

Now I gotta unfold it and take a picture of the damn thing. . .

It is a cross bike, but its available in either steel or aluminum, your choice. Its even available with a coupler so you can fold it. I got sniped on ebay when I tried to buy a Sycip a couple of years ago. I bought a Jamis cross bike instead.

If you already have a mtn bike, try a cross bike on the same trails. It really makes them fun again in a new way.

the only reason I don't ride a road bike is because the ones I am interested in are anywhere from $5-6k

$5-$6k? for a bike?

I'm curious, do people drive in new york or rely on public transport?
is there any room to park a car if you own one?

So who knows the history of New Amsterdam?
