...but what an exciting place to be!
I grew up in the City. We don't need no stinkin' bike friendliness.
The streets are so narrow that I just ride in the center. I think the City is considering getting rid of cars on some small streets. It would be an improvement. They're making lots of improvements, doing mostly the right things but at the wrong pace.
I wish I could use a video camera when I ride. Long story, but I just can't. You might be amazed at the stuff that happens. Today I rode from my home to the big Port Authority Bus Terminal so I could escape the City. 8th Ave in the afternoon is insane. Hours later, the "reel" is still playing in my mind as I sit here in the woods in High Falls, NY.
