Sewell Chan/NYTimes on learning to ride a bike as an adult. In New York.

Love his Cityroom blog post on this topic today. NB: Sewell and I were in the same second grade class at P.S. 31 Queens.

"As New York City goes through something of a bicycling renaissance -- with the construction of new bike routes, improved bike parking, and even the closing of parts of Broadway to vehicular traffic -- one issue has received little attention: there are some New Yorkers -- and I'm not talking about 5-year-olds -- who do not know how to ride."

Hi there!

Currently I'm the Chief Content Officer at Tatler in Asia, based in Hong Kong and working across eight markets in the region, including mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. Previously, I was, in New York, the Digital Director at Food & Wine, the Digital Director at WWD, the Digital Editor at Large at Glamour, the Executive Editor at Epicurious, the Founding National Editor of Racked, and, way back in the day, a Plus-Size Model signed to Wilhelmina. I'm the author of 'How Not to Look Fat,' which was published by HarperCollins, and a Dartmouth, Oxford, and Central Saint Martins alum.
