Popping up everywhere in the city. 

This group is on West 20th in Chelsea.  I dig the 'graphics' of the precisioned line-up.

 

I have my own lovely bike, circa 1961, made in Nottingham, England, called a 'Sprite 27'.

I named it 'Green Lizard'; it is a glossy, mossy green - perfect.  As I live on the UWS right along RSD, it is very easy to hop on & ride along the Drive.  Better yet, I am allowed, by NY law, to ride it on the RSD sidewalk & into Riverside Park, through which I may gain access to the Greenway Bike Path.   Otherwise one must stay OFF NYC sidewalks or incur a stiff fine.   Not doing it.  

 

Sunday morning streets on the UWS (Upper West Side) are pretty quiet, traffic-wise, so the cyclers can enjoy a more leisurely ride minus competing with weekday cars, buses, trucks, city vehicles, etc.   Up the street two blocks is Grant's Tomb which is actually located on its own island-in-the-street.  Every now & then one can catch a bike race in progress; what a perfect location.   But... that location is another story.  Absolutely.
