If it's me you're asking, I believe my ride was before the incident in Central Park. Either way, it was a very quiet Saturday morning (before 9am), so the city was pretty devoid of pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and cops. I love riding in Manhattan, especially the crazy busy parts, especially during crazy busy times. It's a rush I don't get from too many other rides. Of course, I only do it once or twice a year, so I'm not jaded and I'm not fed up with the whole scene yet.

When you say "anything and everything," what exactly do you mean? They can't ticket you if you're not guilty of something.
