The hard part is getting a feel for the intangibles, as riding a bike means interacting with your fellow New Yorkers in a new and unfamiliar way. As a cyclist, you occupy sort of a middle ground between pedestrians and drivers, and as such you're both vulnerable and dangerous at the same time. And because the cycling landscape in New York City is still evolving, it's not always obvious what you should be doing on the bike.

How do you get people to buy new saddles? Easy - tell them their current one will render them impotent! Everybody knows the easiest way to get men to do anything is to threaten their penises.

We've come to expect that life can be a completely pain-free experience provided we're prepared to spend enough money. There are pills to soothe your body, and pills to soothe your mind. There are driver-coddling cards, first-class seating, heated floors, and ergonomic toilet brushes. Why should cycling be any different?
Well, when it comes to bikes, there is such a thing as normal discomfort. The more time you spend on a bike at a stretch, the more uncomfortable you're going to get. Your'e going to get tired. Your body is going to ache from staying in the same position. Even your bed with the down mattress cover and high-thread-count sheets will revolt against you and give you bedsores if you don't turn over every once in awhile.

It's exhausting to wade through crap, and sometimes, the only way to cut through the crap is with physical activity. This will never change. You'll always need to use your body productively, and to use it expressively.

Anti-Veloism
I don't blame people for being afraid to ride their bikes, though. It's conditioning. As you grow up, no authority figure will ever tell you to ride your bike; they'll only tell you not to ride it. We've been subjected to a campaign of propaganda and lies our entire lives.
I'm not sure who's ultimately behind it, though I suspect its the same cadre of conspirators who brought us Forrest Gump, Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza, and the band Creed.

Get a bicycle. You will not regret it. If you live.
