New York City Views: afternoon bike ride

As a weight weenie I rarely take a camera on my bike rides, its exercise after all, I don’t run with a camera either :) however, today I got a late start, we had a beautiful day here in NYC and I grabbed my Ricoh GR, what the heck, my road bike only weighs 14.73 lbs on my digital scale, I can take a camera from time to time, right?
Feels great having something this small and pocketable producing medium format quality, great for landscapes this thing!
You can order your GR from Adorama,andat BH.
