I was one of those jerks that blasted through it (well the portions where you could), even on the folding bike, sorry. I was by myself and had lots of fun keeping pace with left lane riders. I saw that one poor guy on the 59th street bridge being carted away by the paramedics. Looked like he had a heart attack or something, but his head was taped down...hope it wasn't a serious spinal injury or anything.

BTW did anyone else witness the cop macing the homeless dude near the entrance of CP? That was crazy. Apparently bikers ran over him while he was asleep under cardboard on the sidewalk. He was obviously rudely awakened, irate, drunk, and just a bit mentally deranged. Started slamming a cane against a parked car until the cop snatched it away and simultaneously shot a stream of pepper spray into the guy's face.
