Biking is the Brooklyn way. It’s the fastest way to get to work if you work, say, in Dumbo and live in Fort Greene, said the New York Times. The Navy Yard is also easier to reach on a bike.
Biking can also mean lower housing costs, if you rent or buy in a transit-starved area such as Red Hook. And of course, it’s handy to meet up with friends who are not that far away as the bird flies, but would take an hour or more to reach on the bus. Do you use a bike to get around Brooklyn or are you considering it this summer? Where do you store your bike when you’re not using it?

In the 2 weeks after Sandy, I biked to work from my house at Park Slope to my office at West 51st. It take around 45min, about 10mins longer than train ride. It was a very nice ride until I hit 34th street, that is where power were restored. But I wouldn’t do it when traffic is heavy.
