Rangers New Center is Happy to Be Back on His Bike


No more double-parking in front of the net or on bike lanes around Madison Square Garden.

Traded from Los Angeles, Sean Avery, the Rangers new center, tells the New York Times Magazine why he enjoys playing in the Big Apple:

Maybe Sean could have a quick chat with Tiki and Jeter about the joys of New York City cycling.
