| 0:00.0 | Brian Laird on WNYC, and in our few remaining minutes today, we're going to follow up on the way |
| 0:14.7 | we ended the show yesterday with the uncontroversial aspects of riding a bike, or at least one of them, it's going to be |
| 0:23.4 | your calls on the best places to ride a bike outside of New York City. |
| 0:29.1 | Like if you want to get away, and I don't mean, you know, down the streets of your particular |
| 0:34.4 | suburb, I'm sure there are nice places to ride around Montclair, around Huntington, |
| 0:39.4 | wherever you are. But this is about where to get out of the city and ride your bike. |
| 0:46.1 | 212-433 W-NYC, 433-962. Call or text. Why are we doing this? Because we had a short segment yesterday on the |
| 0:58.5 | Rails to Trails movement, right, because of the new documentary that's going to air next week, |
| 1:04.6 | Wednesday night on PBS called From Rails to Trails. And we had Peter Hartnick, co-founder of the |
| 1:10.7 | Rails to Trails Conservancy on the show |
| 1:12.8 | and the segment was really short I'll take some responsibility for maybe mismanaging the clock a little bit |
| 1:20.1 | yesterday but the fact is we had so many calls and text from you that we didn't get to take specifically recommending rail trails |
| 1:30.4 | outside the city that we thought we would spend our last few minutes today just going back to it |
| 1:35.3 | and letting you share your favorite bike routes outside the city one more time we just have |
| 1:42.5 | five minutes for it today but we'll get a lot in here because this will be boom, boom, boom, boom, when you call in or text. |
| 1:48.2 | 212-433-23, WNYC, 433-9692. And it doesn't have to be a rail trail today. Yesterday it was specifically rail trails, and they can continue to be, but they can be other things as well. |
| 2:02.8 | 212-433, WNYC, best places to ride your bike. |
| 2:08.3 | We'll just get you back on here with some of the ones that we left on the table yesterday |
| 2:12.5 | because there were so many good tips. |
| 2:14.2 | This is also going to be one where I know some of you bike riders are going to |
| 2:18.8 | take notes and say, oh, I didn't think about that place in Brewster or, you know, whatever it is. |
| 2:24.8 | 212-433-9692. We'll go to those texts and calls right after this. Brian Lair on WNYC. |
