Okay, next post here will be after a bike commute.
The more the merrier! You missed the incredibly low traffic today in Manhattan. Looks like almost everybody took off for Good Friday. This must be what its like on an early Sunday morning? Great day to ride from home for me. Also had more incentive since my car is at the mechanic.
