It’s not what you think: this man isn’t cycling the streets of Amsterdam, nor is he on his way to a business brunch in Copenhagen. Flanked almost entirely by yellow cabs, this commuter could only be in New York City. He was spotted at the corner of 5th Avenue and 58th Street by Bicycles Only, home to a series of great NYC commuter shots, including these:
These shots offer a glimmer of hope that major American cities are getting aboard their bikes, gaining speed, and may some day keep apace with more progressive, pro-cycling European cities that have so wisely shunned the automobile in favor of a smarter, sleeker ride.

Cars are the most inconvenient convenience we have. We're required to have them, but increasingly, we dislike them. At Carectomy, we're trying to figure out how to extract cars from people.
The operation is a little bit painful, but life afterward is much more awesome. If you're interested in carectomies, sign up to our newsletter, or subscribe our RSS feed below.
