Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I'm riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I'm riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park - no, I don't wear the dreaded helmet then.

I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.

I think that if they want people to listen to ten or twelve songs, they have to give the listener a reason to listen to ten or twelve songs or to buy ten or twelve and listen to the whole thing instead of just pulling one or two for their iPod or their computer.

To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.

So there's no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn't necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn't necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.

It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.

I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
