May 23, 2013
All good things come to an end and ForgottenTour #66 in Tottenville marked the end of a good-luck weather streak that had lasted the latter part of 2011 and all of 2012, as downpours of varying intensity marked the day’s events. The crowd was kept down by the rain as well. We’ll have to invest [...]

OCEAN AVENUE, Midwood
I should really do more on Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn. It runs continuously from Flatbush Avenue at Prospect Park all the way south to Sheepshead Bay, standing in for East 20th Street. When I lived in Brooklyn I never rode a bike on the avenue because, dominated almost completely by apartment buildings, it seemed boring [...]

CONVENT AVENUE, Manhattanville – Morningside Heights
May 19, 2013
Long Island University has a campaign (in 2013) called “Find Out How Good You Really Are.” When I went to college, I found out I wasn’t all that good. I persevered and finally got a diploma.
