Keeping Cool in Coney: Bike Solutions
This bike has a double drive train. The owner told me one is for making the bike move, and the other is for the old car alternator which charges the two huge batteries. It is this electrical power that drives the on-board stereo system.

Governors Island: Another Time
On May 31st Governors Island opened up to the public for the summer. Today we took our push-bikes on the free ferry and crossed over the river into the Jazz Age. Michael Aranella and the Dreamland Orchestra were playing to an authentic and beautifully turned out crowd as we arrived.
Most of the old island homes are open for you to wander through.
There is also an outside sculpture exhibit presented by the Sculptors Guild, which has to be seen in amongst the grand and empty architecture.
It is amazing how much open space you can enjoy on the island. Picnic on the abandoned golf course anyone?
