Subject: First ever email from the Subway

Dear Mayor Bloomberg:

Happy holidays from the Union Square Subway Platform!

We are proud to send you the first ever, underground email from NYC's subway
system, using Magicbikes, a network of wireless bicycles! (http://www.magicbike.net)

The Design and Technology Department at Parsons School of Design and the
Education Division at the nonprofit new media arts organization Eyebeam
collaborated on a class titled "Wireless Bikes and Urbanites." In the season of giving,
our class' "humble" final project is to make history by being first to give New York
subway commuters free wireless Internet access. As Mayor, you know how New York
steadily brews with remarkable spirit and capability, and as students, faculty, and
artists, we're glad to add to the collective history of this great city!

We would like to thank all those who have made New York both bicycle friendly and a
place where public spaces are increasingly becoming infused with free internet
access, including Union Square Park, NYCWireless, Transportation Alternatives and
many others. Keep up the good work!

Have a great New Year!

Sincerely,
Yury Gitman and the Design and Technology students at Parsons School of Design
