Feedback
"Thank you for your wonderful presentation on bike commuting today. As I mentioned before, we were really excited by the tremendous level of interest in the presentation going in--and after your talk I think it's certain that the enthusiasm has only increased! I had a number of attendees come up to me and say how eager they are to give biking to work a try (or another shot). Hopefully I'll be able to get back on the bike myself again soon."--NYU faculty/staff presentation
"Thanks so much for the bike session on Monday. Wish me luck; I'm biking home from the office for the first time tonight."-DK, September 2009
"Thank you for the wonderful talk. Very good stuff. I am retired and thinking of getting a small folding bike for my car and also to take on the train."-JS, September 2009
