PRESS RELEASE BOOK LAUNCH:
‘RIDE WITH ME NYC’, THE FIRST BIKE GUIDE FOR NEW YORK CITY
NEW YORK CITY
10 September 2009
New York City’s first bike guide, created and published by Dutch artist and bike lover Roos Stallinga. Bicycling in New York is the best. You get to places far beyond the subway stops and are free to go wherever you want. It is exploration in its purest form. Biking in New York is like being in a movie, as the sights, sounds and smells of the city blended together pass by. Biking in New York is like meditation; a great exercise in focusing, relaxing, and being patient.
‘Ride with me NYC’ is for New York City lovers, by bike or yet without, providing:
• Ten newly created bike routes across the five boroughs
• Comprehensive bike maps
• Dinner and drinks trips from locals
• Personal interviews with NY bikers to share their tips and experiences
‘Ride with me NYC’ provides a unique mixture of photographs, art, maps and text that breathes the energy and sense of endless possibility of biking in the city. In this guide, Roos shares her love for biking and New York City and inspires readers to go out and explore themselves, discovering new places and experience the city from a new perspective. Biking can be an exhilarating experience, whether it’s a warm summer evening across the Brooklyn Bridge, a crisp early morning commute along the Hudson, or a nightly ride bedazzled by the lights of Times Square.
Biking in New York is the fastest growing means of transportation in the city. In the last three years, local government and advocacy groups like Transportation Alternatives have worked together to create 200 miles of bike lanes in the city. The Zeitgeist is all about two wheels. Biking in New York is hot and fashionable. People express themselves via their bike. It is becoming a movement, a very positive one.
About the author: ‘Ride with Me NYC’ is created and self published by the author Roos Stallinga. She grew up in the Netherlands, so bikes have always been part of her consciousness: “to me biking is the greatest way to really experience New York. And it’s fast, it’s green, it’s healthy, and it’s fun!” Having lived in New York City for 5 years, Roos feels as much at home in New York as in Amsterdam, with a bike. Roos used her network of bike loving friends for entertaining personal stories, insider tips and local expertise.
