Self Editor Practices What She Preaches
Lucy Danziger, editor of Self magazine, is practicing what she preaches to her readers every month. She’s turned down the car service her publishers provide for her every morning, and has instead decided to ride her bicycle to work every day.
The New York Times recently ran a piece on the editor, saying that after Condé Naste closed down 4 of its titles and heavily clamped down on budgets on all the others, Lucy decided to give up the town car service and hop on her bike.
Lucy started with the company 8 years ago, and when she was provided with the service, wasn’t too fussed about it.
“I was like, ‘I don’t need a car’, then suddenly it’s pouring, and Mr. Newhouse [the Condé Naste chairman] is waiting, and you’re like, I need to get to work today,” she told the daily newspaper.
But the service isn’t always an ideal way to travel, says Lucy. She has had to anticipate what time she leaves her apartment because she still has to call the driver to let him know her departure time.
Lucy, however, seems to be enjoying her morning bike ride so far, but she knows she won’t be peddling through a snowstorm.
“It’s not an absolute,” she told newspaper. “It’s a very New York thing to do.”
