Cute!

I don't think getting across mid-town Manhattan in a bus in 15 minutes is that bad. The bike isn't some remarkable time faster. Did the bus have to load/unload passengers?

Maybe he should stage a race with a subway from mid-town to Battery Park. That's the southern tip around the area of the Statue Of Liberty.

I wonder how long it would take to walk across mid-town?

I think the bus was running it's regular route. Now, how much faster could this guy have gotten crosstown if he was riding an adult sized bike?
