Fall Happened a Week Early
in Manhattan.
The cold air came down in about 10 minutes last Thursday night and I rushed around and closed all the windows.
I think I dreamed of the rain, being in a rain storm.
I used to say the Fall was my favorite season but I had a good spring and summer, it's a close third.
I am so exited about the bicycle plan for New York City. Next summer, says the mayor, there will be a bicycle sharing program in the city like other cities, Paris and Washington and Boston, I believe...
I am going to take the bikes for rides through the park initially. I don't know if I would use it for transportation but I actually could in the nice weather.
I love riding a bicycle.

The bicycle share program in Paris is awesome. But people don't steel there. I wonder how it will work in NYC. Everybody used the bikes and commuted or leisurely rode all over the city. The racks were, for the most part, empty. Which is good. The bikes were being used. Ronn and I thought it was a very cool program.
It's based on the 'Bixi' bike sharing system that started in Montreal Canada and has now expanded around the World.

People in New York, Steal? Are you crazy? LOL haha well, supposedly they will have GSP ids imbedded in them for theft and with the abundence, and at only 100 bucks a year it's worth it NOT to steal!
@Orlando - Ronn and I were really impressed with the un locked down items scattered through out the parks and little sitting areas. I am sure theft happens everywhere but I have to guess it is not prevelant in Paris.
ps: I just caught that I mispelt steal. Sorry. Morning eyes.

oh here they'll be locked up and you'll have a swipe card to get them out of their parking lock, then you park them in a locked site...
