Heh. The joys of small town life. Our "rush hour" wouldn't impress anybody. Except maybe someone from where the main mode of transport is mules or camels.
OTOH, I was in NYC for a week a couple years ago (alas, without a bike), and the flatness of the terrain and the relatively slow traffic make it seem pretty doable to me, at least in Manhattan. I'm pretty sure I'd be a lane-taker there, for the most part. Looking forward to visiting again, this time with a bike and no specific schedule to adhere to.
