Amazing episode of a fantastic podcast. Nick Offerman is so cool. I tend to agree that a good walk is the best way to see and understand a new city.
Just the other day I was in the downtown area. I usually take my ebike when heading in but this time I'd borrowed a car to do some errands and wanted to stop in for some food somewhere. I had to park and get out and walk in order to just take in what was available. You can't properly tell when driving and when I'm on my bike I also tend to be moving through rather than exploring. He's so right about a lot of it.
Nick Offerman says he's not a real cyclist because he doesn't put on Lycra and go 30 Miles per hour.
I disagree. Biking on the streets of NY and LA makes you a real cyclist. I'm not sure what putting on Lycra makes you ...
Well I think he's just making the distinction that he's a person who rides a bicycle, not someone who's identity is wrapped up in the image of cycling.
