I just want to share my experiences with renting a bike. I went to 96th street at broadway to West Side Bicyles. Got a nice bike but without a bike lock. They said, I would not need it, since the bike would get stolen anyway, if I would leave it outside and go into the cinema or somewehre else. So I had to purchase a lock, since I wanted to have the bike for more than a day.
Riding a bike in New York is fun. I had no problems with the amount of cars in the city nor with cars driving close to me. IMO it's a very nice way to see a lot of places in NY, without walking to much or always using the metro. For me, the best way of transportation. I rented the bike for one day and 5 hours, but they charged me less for less time. I had to pay 78$ roughly. Locking the bike in front of carman over night also worked well - the bike didn't disappeared :-) The only obstacle^Wchallenge for me was, that the streets here are more steep than in Cologne, where they are just flat. If someone needs a bike lock for renting a bike, just contact me, you can borrow mine for free. -- regards Thomas _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
