Oh, the irony.

Jimbo, you spent at least 20 minutes preparing this.

let me break this down for you:



I'm sorry you were shouted by an angry cyclist. The correct lane really is irrelevant on the bridge as most actually follow the "stay on your right rule." If it makes you feel better, my entire team got shouted at by an angry Luzzo rider even though none of us were in his way. Laugh it off, life is too short to obsess over the shortcomings of others.



once again, i'm sorry about your encounters with cyclists. in central park, when i see a red light, i always yield (not necessarily stop). i might be disrupting the interval i was doing, but that's trivial compared to running someone over.

as for ignoring traffic light, allow me to turn to John 8:7: let he who is without sin cast the first stone. be honest now, don't tell me you have never walked across the street when the traffic perpendicular to your direction of travel has the light.



if you are sprinting on the GWB for interval workouts, you are doing it wrong. there's riverside state park on 135th & columbia track (if you are affiliated with the institution) at 215th. sure i might be slightly annoyed, but i won't spend 20 minutes writing about it on the internet. but you know, this is good, it's a lot better than you upping things from annoyance to something more.



actually, the city could care less. i believe the port authority of new york & new jersey maintains the bridge. it's really very simple, stay on the right, and the cyclists will veer left to pass you.



looks like someone forgot to tell you not to judge a book by its cover



oh you so kind wishing us a nice day

as for solutions: read what i wrote above, and here are other possibilities

, and should this fail
