An Evening In New York City's Bryant Park

Like many of New York's parks in the 1970's Bryant Park had it's share of the dark side. A partnership of New York City and private businesses has  transformed it. Attractions and activities vary, from Ice Skating in the winter months to summer evening movies on the lawn.

Oakland's Architechtural Doorways and Windows

San Francisco gets all the tourists which is okay by me. Living in Oakland for the last month I was able to discover the architechural gems around Oakland. Unfortunately many are destined to be demolished in the name of progress.

Lehman College

Though not bicycling related this thought is a recurring theme. Only three weeks into the 2008 Fall school term. I'm seriously beginning to feel it's my time to retire as each freshman class appears to be younger and more naive than the previous. Some instructors see their naiveté as youthful enthusiasm. I am not so sure. But as I walk around the Campus I decided to preserve some images.
