The risks of riding in New York force the experience into the realms of the spirit; only religious reasons could compel one to face the daily barrage of idiots, crumbling infrastructure and rage. In my new $3.99 book on Amazon, Zen and the art of bicycle riding in New York, I share ideas about shaping your mindscape into the contours necessary to survive a two-wheel commute in the Big Apple.
I also wrote a sad, disturbing short story about aliens, love and loss. Fun read!
