Meet the newest member of the Bike New York staff: Herschel Uchitelle, a mechanic and the operator of our brand-new pop-up bike shop on Roosevelt Island. He's gotten the job already, but we figured we'd make him nervous with a few more questions.
We talked to the founder of Bicycle Utopia about her organization’s upcoming exhibition at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, riding cruiser bikes during the winter in Chicago, and why New York is (obviously) the place to be.
We talked to the Communications Manager of Recycle-A-Bicycle about his first real bike ride, how he got into bike maintenance, and whether or not he could teach someone how to fix a flat in Turkish.
