For your viewing pleasure this weekend -- Clarence filmed this short, exhilarating group ride down the brand new protected bike path on Columbus Avenue. New Yorkers won this mile of safer street after a down-to-the-wire Community Board 7 vote in favor of the plan. A lot of hard work and organizing went into that vote, and this ride was a chance to celebrate.
