CNN: John Leguizamo Interview on biking in NYC

An unlikely bicycle advocate? Read CNN's interview with the man:


http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/05/06/leguizamo.urban.biking/index.html


I especially like this question:



CNN: What about the equipment you need?


Leguizamo: Get a recycled bicycle, recycle a bicycle, you know, something old and beat up. If you can't and you're too high-maintenance, get something really fancy and wreck it. Get sandpaper and a screwdriver, and you got to mess it up. Because if it looks shiny and nice, no matter what massive lock you have, somebody's going to cut it. If you recycle a bicycle, you get the cheapest lock, and you don't have to carry that massive chain that will weigh you down.

I found it sad that this is the quote they pulled.


You gotta look for potholes, doors swinging, pedestrians. It's a massive amount of focus.

He's less annoy than Sinbad minus Elaine Boosler. And I'll take biking tips from anyone who chain smokes while eating chicken and dressed as a pregnant woman.
