* Not accepting guests until at least February 2019 *

Hello! I'm a cyclist living in New York City. As a founding member and coorganizer of the NYC Adventure Cycling Club (http://www.nycadv.com). I ride year round, mostly for pleasure but also for practicality, commuting by bike since 2011.

I love travel in general, but travel by bike is my greater passion. I have experience with long distance/endurance road cycling as well as touring. I've completed 1 solo tour of about 800 miles a few others with people. I'd say that makes me a tourist of intermediate experience, and I'm always planning for the next one! I love meeting bike tourists, and if our schedules work out, I'd love to meet you and hear your stories.

I'm a vegetarian with two cats, so guests will not only need to be courteous and respectful of the other tenants in the building, but also be ok with cats. I have a fold out couch that can sleep one (maybe two) and guests are welcome to the kitchen.

Music, Movies, and Books

My tastes are eclectic; these days it's a lot of Break of Reality, 65Daysofstatic, Max Richter, a little hip-hop and some classical stuff.

My modern movie favorites are The Europa Report and Interstellar (space nerd); classics are The Talented Mr Ripley as well as most of Hitchcock and some Fellini.
