I went as far as Toga (W64th) coming from around the GWB today to pick-up a few things, etc. Ft. Washington --> Riverside Dr. --> West End and back with some variation. I saw what felt like more cyclists than usual, some no0bs. I even tried to help a guy who apparently hadn't ridden in 15-20 years with a hopelessly flat tire. Anyhow, don't be fooled, the "enforcement" is selective. In Harlem, Washington Heights, etc the same old shennanigans were taking place with bad, illegal U-turns, parking in bike lanes, etc. OTOH I felt like I had more respect from drivers while on Riverside Drive (usually a crazy run during rush hour). Maybe the sudden increase in cyclists raised awareness?
