Photo of the Week

I'm so fed up with paying for bus and subway rides, that I've taken to riding my bike nearly everywhere. And to protest the high cost of New York City's transit fares, I've decided to attach all of my old MetroCards to every available surface of my trusty Schwinn. It's my ironic statement about the price of perambulation in this mighty metropolis. You might say I'm a "spokesman" for beleaguered Big Apple commuters.

Actually, I just made that up. This is a bicycle I observed on a side street in Manhattan and couldn't resist photographing -- just like you can't resist clicking on this pic for a close-up view.
