I forgot to report the most hilarious bit of NYC driving I've seen yet. A couple of nights ago, on my way home going downtown on an avenue with a separated bike lane, a jeep pulled out of a side street, somehow missed his turn, and got his front end stuck on the curb separating the bike lane from the street. He backed up into the the now pack of bicycles stopped behind him, and then proceeds to turn into the bike lane. He had mere inches of clearance, and part of me dearly wanted him to get thoroughly bunged up so that the police would have to get involved, though that would have put the bike lane out of commission for the duration. All the bikes were forced into traffic on the avenue, and when I looked back, the jeep had gotten through and was trying to extricate itself and get back on the street. Now that I think about it, I should have taken a picture.
