John is a paramedic with FDNY EMS in Harlem. He often gets to work from Brooklyn by bike, or a combination of bike and train. He and 2 other EMT colleagues at the station house are regular bike commuters.<\/p>\n

For him, cycling is generally a more dependable way to make it in time for his 4-12 shift. He also just enjoys being outside, whether it\u2019s on bike or on foot. \u201cNew York is a really walkable city, but of course you can\u2019t cover much distance,\u201d he says. \u201cSo about 20 years ago, I started biking.\u201d<\/p>\n

What changes has he seen? \u201cThe city was a lot less bike friendly then. Not as many bike lanes, not nearly as many people riding.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the topic of bike friendliness, talk turned to the current NYPD cyclist ticketing campaign. Turns out John has seen it all before. \u201cI remember the last one, under Giuliani. It\u2019s pretty similar to what\u2019s happening today. At least now we have some more bike lanes.\u201d<\/p>\n
