This idea is really attractive in my opinion, as you get to experience a city in a way that would not exist either by transit or by car. I think it will encourage more people to try out cycling and potentially uncover some very scenic or unique cycling routes that will enhance the experience of local riders. For potential travelers that would follow this tour nationwide, it would be a great way to experience all the sights and sounds at a faster speed than a pedestrian but slow enough for you to appreciate the environment and all of its offerings. Of course, with a potential for a large group I would hope that some minimal cycling experience is required to make sure things progress smoothly.
Always remember: one in four transit trips are taken on a vehicle provided by NY's Metropolitan Transit Authority. :-)
