Somehow, I found myself behind a seasoned New Yorker, who incessantly rang his bell and yelled at the crowd to move out of the way. I tucked in behind and happily dinged along. It was a memorable experience.
Well the Brooklyn Bridge certainly is an iconic thing with a spectacular view, so sure, that was memorable. People here are often harsh and direct because there are so many of us and we live so close to each other.
I'm glad you can still ride for a little longer. As I've said many times, I'm concerned about the climate but I'm enjoying the weather. We've had spectacular weather nearly every day since mid-August. It's very unusual. I wonder if I'll be able to tolerate bad weather when it eventually comes back. Well, I'm sure I will, but it will be a shame. Bad weather is pretty normal for this area.
