Today’s post also appears on StreetsBlog as part of their Why I Ride<\/a> feature.<\/p>\n

Jamal is a writer and painter working under the name Livingroom Johnston<\/a>. He has been riding in New York city for years. Formerly a professional skateboarder and bike messenger, Jamal now prefers the softer, more relaxed ride of this Iron Horse beach cruiser. To the question “why bike?” he replies\u00a0“I ride because I don’t like the underground. It’s\u00a0dirty,\u00a0crowded, and costly.” In addition, many of his regular trips are short enough to make biking the most efficient choice. \u00a0I photographed him on Cumberland Ave at the edge of Fort Greene Park. He was on his way to a bookstore to get coffee and do some writing.<\/p>\n
