What better way to spend “bike to work day” by not working and sittin’ at The Brakes Coffee House’s sidewalk café on Lark and watching “riding in Albany” scenes.  (By the way and as explained by the owner, “The Brakes” is not a reference to a bicycle component as some have thought but a low-key call to “put the brakes” on our “carbon footprint.”)  Try the “Don’t Have A Cow, Man!” for a tasty lunch-time treat.

Oh, and with a surprise shot of the “US Albany” at the end – who says “Albany is Boring?”
