The Real Reason Why Bicycles are the Key to Better Cities | Sustainable Cities Collective

When I graduated from elementary school, we left Michigan and headed to Oregon. My family moved across the country leaving behind all that I had ever know.

Obviously, I would be in a city without any friends. Transitioning from elementary school to middle school is already hard enough. For me it was going to be brutal.

I spent the entire summer getting around town on my 12-speed bike. That's right, 12 powerful speeds in which I would leave those with a mere 10 speeds in my dust. I would go off around lunch and ride through the different neighborhoods and into the city of Eugene. I got to know the city one block at a time.

It was the loneliest summer I ever had as a kid, but it was also the most exciting. Exploring a city on a bike. It's something everyone should do when they move.

Korilla killa

I finally made it to the Korilla Korean BBQ truck today.  It may be 10 vicious midtown blocks away from the office, but it's totally worth the dodging suits and tourists.

My selection: Bowl w/ Bulgogi and Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice, all the fabulous Kimchi toppings, carrots and graced with a spinkle of cheese.  Got both the Korean BBQ sauce and K-illa hot sauce.

It is fantastic.  All for $8 which, by Midtown NYC standards, is a steal.

Not just Vegan, Macro Vegan

I just learned something after grabbing a quick snack at the market on E 45th.

Bento Box = Yum
Bento Box + in a plastic container = Meh
Bento Box + in a plastic container + declaring itself Macro & Vegan = Turd on a Fork

I should have walked the 5 blocks to the schnitzel truck.
