I haven't been following the Bike Snob's blog that long, but I've read his book a few times through and laughed my ass off. As someone that has biked through New York I can tell you it's an experience like no other.
In case your wondering, the huge chain has since been retired due to complete uselessness. I figured I'd give it a shot once, but it's really just uncomfortable (and looking back, fucking lame).
The Bike Snob really hits the nail on the head when it comes to city biking. From all the recent rule changes, to the heavy ticketing, to bike lanes that are more of a burden than anything else lately, the Bike Snob breaks it down with a level of sarcasm that would give Norm MacDonald nightmares.
