Bike v. Car v. Subway = Fuhgetaboutit!

Yesterday Transportation Alternatives held the 7th Annual NYC Commuter Race. The race, which runs from Fort Greene, Brooklyn to Union Square in Manhattan, tests whether a bike, car, or subway is the fastest way to travel around the city. The guy in the car really needs a hug.

Emmanuel Fuentebella, a photographer, has a sobering view of his chances as a driver. "I know the car has never won, but since gas is $4.50 a gallon this year, don't I deserve a break?"

Here's some footage of the race. And the winner is...

Cyclist Jamie Favaro! BSNYC not only "participated" in the ride, but managed to interview Favaro.

P.S. CNN did a similar race in D.C. with the car taking 1st and the subway taking 2nd. Oh CNN, that's what happens when you throw Larry King on a bike and push him into oncoming traffic.
