Yesterday, Sunday, NY Times travel section did a three page spread on bicycling thru Vermont, Ireland, Paris etc. And last week they had a photo of Rent-a- Bikes (bike sharing) in their stands which can be found in various sections of Manhattan, threatening Gotham with becoming another Amsterdam. But last month another type of two wheeler appeared as a man in a wheel chair was snatching purses in high end restaurants and hotels with his picture caught on surveillance cameras. Prompt police work by the NYPD apprehended the "wheeling dervish" and just in time before the U.N. folks arrive with their euros. At his arraignment for grand larceny he said in Spanish he was "muy preocupado" i.e. very worried. I guess he will need a jail cell on the ground floor.
