It's been eventful lately. The other night I got passed by an SUV in the 1st Avenue tunnel, and my first thought was that he was going a lot faster than the usual traffic in the tunnel. The speed limit is 25mph, and there are frequently cops at the exit of the tunnel with radar guns. Sure enough, I see someone standing in the middle of the road at the tunnel exit, wearing some reflective gear. It was a cop and he pulled the guy over right in front of me. Gave the cop a thumbs up as I rode by. The driver was also weaving between lanes as he went by, and there is a solid white line between the two tunnel lanes (same direction of traffic), so he may have gotten double booked as well.

Well, in my own defense, it came with the bike and I don't use it very often (I don't leave my bikes locked up that often, since I normally take them inside, and usually it's one of my older steel frames that seem to attract less attention). And it's a Master!

Sounds good to me, but I guess it depends on the sample size. I don't know how many people are using ridewithgps, but I know that on Strava that would be a good ranking (for comparison, a section of the 59th street bridge has over 22K recorded efforts).
