New York is doing a great deal to encourage residents to start biking with a great advertising campaign in subways and all across town indicating what the distances are between two different neighbourhoods e.g. Chelsea to Midtown – 10 minutes.
They also organise great events like one they had on Sunday. Check out their website: www.bikenewyork.org/
