Synopsis
I've been lucky to hang out or ride along with some famous New Yorkers who are bike riders and actors over the years! Including: "The Ethicist" Randy Cohen, Kate McKinnon, Michael Musto, George Hahn, David Byrne and others. Today you get to see my fun commute with actress Amy Hargreaves, who has been a star of stage, screen and television for over 30 years!

Come along on our fun ride from her Yorkville home base thru Times Square for the play "Till Death" at Theater Row (note it has since finished it's run) as we discuss all sorts of great urban topics like WIDE bike lanes, congestion pricing, safety for riding at night, Citi bikes and how she chooses what mode of transport she will use (she also does not own a car, but will occasionally rent one - wait until you hear THAT story!)

It is an eclectic journey featuring her path thru the Upper East Side (we stopped to ride a few blocks of the new Third Avenue bike lane!) then via a dark and sparsely populated Central Park lower loop which leads us to directly into Times Square using 7th Avenue or as Amy says, "the belly of the beast"! All along hear how she says the ride to the stage helps her relax and prepare for her role and the ride home allows her to recoup energy and decompress.
