Hilge Hurford shows me a part of NY I have not been to while we wait for the Staten Island terminal. Hilge had just come from a breakfast with the president of Botswana. Nothing stops her! Someone tried to physically stop her bringing her bike into the lobby of her condo building. 'They let strollers in darlink, they can let my bike in,' she says, pushing right back. I wouldn't dream of arguing with her, would you? The free Staten Island Ferry 'the last free thing in NY' says Hilge Liberty framed by the Ferry

Hilge definitely 'rides it like she stole it' Wait, am I in Sydney? No, it's a sister coathanger - the Bayonne Bridge, Staten Island. Biking the Bayonne bridge Some quaint all-American neighborhoods. Note how Liberty is keeping a safe distance from the mainland to maintain her freedom...

Whoa! Camera can barely get a fix on Hilge hammering down the Liberty Park concourse ... at least I think that's where we are .. This shot has a painterly quality to it ... Joshua Whalen spotted the Pro Petite and had to some on over and talk - he use to build messenger bikes for LiteSpeed, he said. I was actually looking for the Leaves and Fleas Gecko Gym ... You call this a doggy gym? Looks more like a doggy rehab facility.
