crazy weather out there today.
same here. rode into the city from bklyn this morning. the manhattan bridge bike path was covered in its entirety in an inch-thick layer of slush and wet snow. took me some 20 minutes to get over the bridge. such slow going.
at the manhattan base of the bridge, two guys with shovels were just starting to clear the path. long way to go.
but word to the armadillos. every wet manhole cover is an adventure.
i'm beginning to think about some replacements for my faithful armadillos.
