I grew up knowing that every Sunday the major roads in Bogota belong to bicyclist, pedestrians, skaters, runners, etc.
It makes me very happy that Manhattan will try to implement the same idea around the island, at least for a couple of Saturdays in August.
It will be good for the environment, health and the ability for people at least once enjoy the streets without fear of cars.
And I will have a taste of my childhood in my new home, can't get better than that. I grew up knowing that every Sunday the major roads in Bogota belong to bicyclist,... more

Steve Meyer wants to sell pedicabs to the world — but is the world willing to go along for the ride?
The sales pitches are assorted and relentless, shouted to an endless flood of pedestrians bedecked in Colorado Rockies attire streaming down the 16th Street Mall.
"How about a ride to the game, folks?"
"Lighten your load a little bit!"
"Give your kids a thrill!"
One man in a Red Sox shirt is warned point-blank: "You need a ride out of here. You're gonna be mobbed."
They come from drivers manning a line of pedicabs parked at 16th and Blake streets. Today is the Rockies' home opener, and there are dozens of the vehicles out and about, shuttling fans to Coors Field and pedaling empty cabs back to lineups at key pickup spots around downtown. The three-wheeled contraptions consist of a bike hitched to a cart with comfy seats in back; some have canopies, some don't. They're mostly spotted at night around the 16th Street Mall, but they also turn out in force for every Rockies home game, Denver Broncos game, New Year's Eve, Saint Patrick's Day, and any other event or celebration when the sheer amount of people, inclement weather and considerable quantities of alcohol create a perfect market.
