I ran into Pat in East River Park – she looked so leisurely and comfortable as she cycled along the esplanade, occasionally weaving gently so she could keep to the smoother strips of pavement. It was almost a shame to interrupt her ride to ask for a portrait but she gladly agreed.
Pat’s 81, and has been riding in New York for 16 years, the last 10 of those on this Ross, which she loves (and which her husband assured her is better than a Schwinn). She rides for 2 hours every single day – for exercise, fresh air, and errands.
She loves the new bike lanes.
