It gets quieter going northbound towards Fresh Meadows, but then I get all these squirrels darting across the path right in front of me. One time for sure I didn't think I would brake in time and I would get a mangled squirrel in my spokes. But at the last second it did some crazy acrobatic move and jumped out of the way.
