bikeTV in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle & Daily BulletinAn article by Jennifer Needleman in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle & Daily Bulletin, covers bikeTV and Transportation Alternatives. Here is an excerpt:
"Bike advocacy, however, is just part of the pie. "We like to emphasize the fun in cycling." said Clarence. "We cover bike trips, tours, rides... if it's got a bicycle in it, it's game." Each BikeTV segment is made up of four or five separate parts, mostly relating but definitely not limited to NYC. "It's not like there's two talking heads going on about biking, it's more like 20/20.'' It is a bike variety show of sorts, and much of the material is refreshingly lighthearted. "
