Today I spent studying the history of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. My favorite story to came up in reading on the subject was of a Swedish engineer named, John Ericsson. According to some he mastered Euclidian Geometry by age 10. The Wikipedia site explains him less in tall-tale terms but even so it's clear he was a gifted engineer. His talents built the USS Monitor which was built in 100 days. The way he built it so quickly was by doing something that hadn't been done in those days… he outsourced production to a number of different iron producers and then had the ship assembled in Greenpoint. There's a really fantastic statute of him in a park. You'll want to come on the tour to see it ;)

A blog dedicated to Bicycle Tours of New York City!
This blog is going to be dedicated to the strange and fun life of a bicycle tour guide.
Right now I'm in the process of opening up Loudest Yeller Bicycle Tours. It's my first business and it's been a challenge to be sure. However, I love giving bicycle tours of cities and so I'm looking forward to the day that I can lead one through NYC with the quality bikes I've always drempt of giving tours on, followed by people from all over the world who have come to see this amazing city and hear all of it's stories. It's super exciting to think about now. It makes all of the trouble of looking for a commercial space, buying bicycles, and making a big transition in my life all worth it.
Today I spent the day studying up on the story of Nellie Bly. If you don't know it… you'll probably want to come on the tour ;)
