This is the coolest bike
in the world for short trips around town, the Strida.
Folds in seconds, relatively light, rolls when folded,
stores easily, grease-free Kevlar belt (instead of a
chain), able to fit easily on subways and buses. I've
had mine for almost 3 years and love it! Perfect
for NYC. Click here

I love biking in NY. I'm a huge fan of the biking path along the Hudson River opened a couple of years ago, and I see from this NYT piece that they're extending that path all the way around Manhattan Island. Bring it on!
Congratulations to my old college roommate John Webb for launching his new blog Spindrift, focusing on his passion for sailing and other important matters in life. I'd like to consider this a Bruner Blog child, as I was the one who first introduced John to Blogger last summer or so in the context of our college reunion site MTRastas.com. Then, of course, his name is Webb and he's been a web developer for several years, appropriately enough, so it was only a matter of time.
Step-brohiem adds: Honey Pot, Thicket, Trent Lott (He's a Twat), Good Listener, Fish, The Lingua Franca Of Barnard College, Gabby Hayes, Gorilla Salad, Mudflaps, Whiskey Down, Poppin Fresh, Conflict Mediator, Dumb Things I Gotta Do.
The obvious counterpart may soon follow, depending on how much hate mail I get from this one. This would be an example of the downside of self-publishing.
UPDATE:
Mark adds: Cake, Box, Fanny (UK), Beaver, Oven, Lady Jane, Ginie and Mouse.
Diana adds, with giddy chagrin, two more from her childhood: Dink and Private Pot.
