that sz article is interesting, but really childishly written. about middle school level.....?

New owner of a bike, lock and helmet. Does anyone have any suggestions/tips/etc. for general NYC biking?

Rode down the greenway to the gym and back to my place in the heights. Felt good

Riding a bike in NYC is actually not so bad. Boston, on the other hand...

Is your lock a u lock? You need a u lock.

guy at the bike shop rec'd a chain lock so that's what I got. What's the difference between the two (function-wise)?

easy to cut a chain lock, hard to cut a ulock

Pretty sure the rope/chain locks can be cut through, whereas the u-locks (which is what I have) are pretty much indestructible?

Ulocks mean you still have a bike. Chain locks are really easy, I wouldn't use them for anything more than securing the front wheel to the frame.

Ulocks require more effort to break, namely an angle grinder if you want the fastest way to break a ulock. With a chain, a pair of bolt cutters and your bike is gone in 2s

He's wrong. There are so many things wrong with his opinion, but the principal fallacy is in his supposition that when the only way for people to have access to fashion was to have a crap load of money, that somehow you had a more educated customer. I would say that, if nothing else, the various high street collaborations are considerably better than the licensing deals of the 70s. At least, in these collaborations, the designers actually have a hand in the design of these garments.

I also like that he premises much of his argument on the fact that cheap clothing encourages wasteful consumerism, when the Margiela collaboration pieces aren't cheap by any means.

Well tbf, compared to the real deal they kinda are.
But then again, it's not the kind of cheap that encourages wasteful consumerism, so I'll agree with you 

I don't think you understood my post.
