How a City Bike Can Get Through Hectic New York

By Rob Sutter


I enjoy items which seem to display just a bit of geekiness and it's something that I have no urge to control. I like to retain a bit of my childhood for nostalgia sake and I hope that I am not the only one who wants to do this. I've also seen that these aspects of my youth can surprisingly be tied back to New York in some way or another. I enjoy them, of course, but if I were to witness them in real life while riding on a city bike, I'd fear crashing out of sheer amazement.

It's odd to me because it wasn't until recently that I had a dream where I was on a city bike, a day in the city seemingly like any other. That's when I saw, in the skies, a man dressed in red and blue swinging across buildings like a soaring arachnid. It sounds strange, but it seems like Spider-Man had been avoiding what appeared to be heat seeking missiles. Being caught in the middle of such an event was not enough for me to get away fast enough on my bike recommended by authorities such as Linus Bike. To say that this was an odd dream is an understatement.

That dream got me to thinking, "what other New York figures could cause such commotion in my sleep?" Well, I could imagine the Ghostbusters being part of that cavalcade as well in the bustling city known as New York. For instance, their big battle against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is one that coated practically the entire city with gooey marshmallow. Falling into an event like that would most certainly leave me, and my bike, in need of a cleanup.

For those of you who have been heavy into cartoons as children during the late 80's and perhaps even beyond, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were on your radar. Even though they are still famed, I think that my love for them as a boy transitioned. What happened if they found themselves in the real-life environment of New York? If it came down to me wanting an autograph while the Turtles were combating the Foot Clan, I think I'd be riding in the other way as quickly as possible.

I'm not about to make the claim that my dreams aren't normal because - to be fair - I think anything else would be more rooted in reality. However, how many of us actually have dreams in which we can look back on them and say to ourselves, "that made sense?" I just know that a lot of instances of my childhood involved danger in some way or another. I can only hope that my city bike will be able to handle the dangers to come.
