I had a guy sit on my wheel yesterday, but he was on rollerblades and thanked me for the draft when he pulled out of the park.

For today's commute, lots of racing to beat cars to gaps before they could close them off, lots of cars making turns from the inner right/left lanes (illegal) and some shooting the gaps between crossing peds.

When I got to work, I had a nice 10 minute conversation about my bike and places to ride w/ the mailman for my office bldg. He asked about my bike because he'd seen before that the builder (IRO) was from Staten Island (says so on the headbadge) where he lived. Turns out he rides mtb trails in Staten Island, although they're rapidly being lost to development, and NJ.
