I find that Thursday and Friday evenings are my worst commutes. Bridge and tunnel crowd prolly. I'm riding back from the Upper East Side in NYC over into Queens so it's a relatively short jaunt, I'm usually coming down York Ave. No bike lane, 4 lanes wide, 2 northbound 2 southbound. Not much spare room for an average American car and a bike, so, I've given up riding over to the right hand side on any street apart from 1 lane wide roads. I just take the lane. I can't say I make too many friends, but hell, there's another lane and I let them know it's a free country, they can use the other lane. Had one homie stating the obvious tonight, "That ain't no motorcycle." I was going to let him know that due to the double negative he was telling me I was on a motorcycle but I just opted for something he'd understand. I flipped him the bird and calmly said "F--- you, you stupid @---le".
