Today I realized that both yesterday and today, in the mornings, I passed zero cyclists on the Brooklyn Bridge going in my direction, and both times, only one cyclist passed me. I do a reverse commute from Manhattan to Brooklyn, and there are plenty of bikes going into Manhattan. I'm sure that the numbers of people going in my direction are not that low. It could be that we are spaced out and going at roughly the same speed. Of course, I don't stand a chance against people on e-bikes.
