It was an adventure, but certainly not for everyone. After living in Minnesota for a few years, Janet returned to New York and founded a commercial real estate brokerage firm. The city was becoming increasingly more bike friendly, and Janet embraced biking in a more relaxed, utilitarian way that was not really possible before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Janet\u2019s work usually takes her from her office in the Village to various properties in Midtown South. Her old Bridgestone is usually\u00a0the fastest and always the cheapest way to get to her destination. And it\u2019s not lost on her the impression she makes on clients when she arrives for a meeting by bike. Her customers are often people who never really considered biking before so she makes a conscious effort to at least get them to entertain the possibility.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s something of a bike evangelist, and she has a few converts under her belt \u2014 often people who never considered\u00a0biking\u00a0before. She tries to show them what she has discovered \u2014 that a great number of their trips in the city can be done more quickly and cheaply (and more safely than ever before) by bike. She certainly influenced Michael, who runs <a href=\"http:\/\/streeteasy.com\/\">streeteasy.com<\/a>\u00a0and is\u00a0one of her customers. Janet says she&#8217;s &#8220;at least 50% responsible for getting him to\u00a0bike (it was an easy push)&#8221;. Michael&#8217;s main form of transport used to be a motorcycle, though now he favors the bike. He likes not worrying about parking and knowing exactly when he will arrive at his destination.
