I've been on bikes in Manhattan for almost three years. If you ride a bike in NYC without brakes, you have a death wish, plain and simple. Also, with the stopping and starting in the city, it follows that you need the lower gears. The city is not flat. It's higher in the middle of manhattan, slopes down as you go downtown in the 30s.
I'm riding to DUMBO now from the Lower East Side and going over the Manhattan Bridge everyday. Tell me what fun it is getting up that bridge without gears.
