I was always a cyclist. Loved riding my bike all over the hood as a kid/teen.
I'm visiting my mom right now and she still has my bike from when I was 14. Perfectly good Minelli rigid MTB with bullhorn handlebars. Her BF is using it as his main around-town bike. It's still got the original tires from 1993.
But yeah that was a fun trip with Blitty in da City back in 2015. We biked across Brooklyn Bridge then visited the Boners and I weirded out Mrs. Boner with my French Canadian-ness and general lack of sophistication. Good times.
