Day 3 of bike commuting, and Google Maps led me to a new route today: up Ave. C., under the FDR Drive and onto the East River Bikeway to 34th St., and then crosstown to work. It's scenic, and avoids most of the meshugas of the streets. The weather was lovely, and the humidity was down, so I arrive much less of a mess than I have so far. I arrived more winded though; I felt like I was working much harder. I don't know if it was the (very light) headwind, or just general fatigue.
