About the Gentle Rider

I thought of this website on one of my daily commutes from midtown Manhattan to Brooklyn. I was thinking about what a great city New York is for riding bikes, commuting by bicycle and just biking in general. Contrast the possibility with some of the harsh realities of riding your bike in New York: the danger, the inhumanity, the pace…

I’ve been riding my bike in New York City for almost 20 years. I’ve learned a lot in those years and I wanted to share it, since I often get questions, I wanted to create a place to gather and share it all.

Gentle Rider is the beginning of an idea that makes cycling more accessible, more acceptable and less radical.
