Get me on that machine and I have to go. I go scorching along the road, and cursing aloud at myself for doing it.”

“As a child growing up in pre-gentrification Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, I went everywhere by bicycle. My bike was in many ways the key to my neighborhood, which, at the time, was Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.

You could get mugged!”
