Light and easy until I hit the stretch between 57th and B'way. Many peds jaywalking caused a couple of near collisions. One jaywalking suit called me an @55-you-know-what to which I heartily replied that we was the one in the wrong. I guess peds don't see bikes, much like drivers. Then the darndest thing happend, the same exact thing as yesterday in the same spot: a cab tried to pull out at an extreme angle into the middle of B'way. He mocked my desperate "HEY!!!". Jerk. Somehow, despite the crazed swerving and braking induced by the above, I still made it all the way from 57 to 44 without hitting a red light.
