And “Orso,” the bear. This last seems aptly named. The Stranger could have been discussing the Bianchi Orso in The Big Lebowski when he observed, “A wiser fella than myself once said, ‘Sometimes you eat the b’ar … and sometimes the b’ar, why, he eats you.” I never got eaten by Bianchi’s b’ar. But at times I felt gnawed upon. Bianchi USA marketing veep David Reed and I first discussed reviewing the Orso in fall 2017.

    No MetroCard Needed Bikes Change Your Brooklyn Apartment Hunt By MICHELLE HIGGINS MAY 23, 2014 Jesse Warner‐Levine and Hallie Nickelson ride to work in Manhattan from their apartment in the Wallabout neighborhood in Brooklyn. Credit Michael Appleton for The New York Times. It was cheaper rent that initially drew Jesse Warner­Levine, 34, and Hallie Nickelson, 33, to Wallabout, a fairly isolated Brooklyn neighborhood on the fringe of Clinton Hill near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Last month, they renewed their lease for one more year at $2,050 a month, in part to keep their rent manageable but also to preserve their biking habit. “We talked about moving,” Ms. Nickelson said, “but now it’s like we need to live near the bridges because we’re so committed to commuting with bikes.” Mr.
