The average persons’ opinions are, as far as I can tell, generally positive on New York City’s new rent a bike program , except for those living in neighborhoods where the racks have been badly placed and those who dislike anything that makes New York look more like Europe. At least one man has found a different use for the bikes when they’re not being used: A free outdoor spin studio for homeless people . Whether this is a good idea or not I don’t know, nor whether the instructor will keep it up, but it is a cheering example of human ingenuity.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
