Mamdani might become the first New York City Mayor to be a real cyclist, the first Citi Bike Mayor, writes @EvanFriss

Zoran Mamdani's "embrace of Citi Bike suggests he’s somewhat of a pragmatist—not the rigid ideologue his critics fear."

Here, @EvanFriss, like booksellers before him, sold me on the fascinating history of bookselling, from humble beginnings to book wagons and sidewalk hawkers to indies and chains, ups and downs, the avant garde and radical. Bookselling is a microcosm of America and a lovely story.
