check and see if they have my '87 4Runner, will you?

... sounds like they were set-up though. it's not saying anyone found their stolen bike being sold there. I don't get it

Stacy was that you that I passed on the greenway by 59th Street around 5:15ish? I was heading northbound and you south...if that was you of course.

Not today. I rode the Greenway on Monday before the weather turned nasty. I did pause near the sanitation facility to get some photos of those nasty grooves in the middle of the greenway around 5:15 pm and then continued south. I was on a white sirrus with pink fenders.

Sorry I didn't specify, but I meant Monday. I'm not sure if you've ridden the greenway all the way north but I attempted to reach Midtown via the greenway (I commute from NJ) and had that route cut short by the snow and ice on the short but steep hill by the GWB. I ended up getting to work via Riverside Drive which I haven't done in quite a while.

I was just squeezing in a few miles before the rain. I've barely gotten out on the bike this month. At least I was able to ride as far as the lighthouse and then head back down to Houston Street. On the upside, maybe all this rain has washed away those mounds of black snow.
