Another rainy one like yesterday. Maybe a little colder but didn't really notice it at ~49F. The rain should stop by 9am or so I've heard. Had some excitement on the ride home yesterday. Coming up to St Nicholas and 162nd St, I heard a "thud" sound in the distance. Then cycling past 163rd St, I heard scraping and a siren from a cop car. I then saw a what I think was a Dodge Charger speeding down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street between 162nd and 163rd. Then the car swerved off the sidewalk went across the intersection and down St Nicholas St (on my side of the street). An unmarked police car (dectective?) was right behind it from the sidewalk with the sirens on. I'm guessing that the car was stolen and the guy was trying to lose the police in a chase. I would be amazed that they didn't hit anyone since they were both going pretty fast. Another crazy day in the big bad city...
