I took a lunchtime ride from midtown to the Wall St. area to buy Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (yeah, I know, it came out a while ago, but I been busy trying to get 100% on GTA San Andreas) and it's cagerrific! Also a good ride down along the FDR MUP to South St. Seaport and back although some parts were muddy as my pants can testify.
Ride home was jam packed. Traffic was wall-to-wall and I actually came to a standstill a few times and had to squeeze through a few places to get around the cars, trucks, buses, cabs, etc. I even followed another cyclist across 6 lanes of traffic just to get around it.
